Solar zenith angle: Applications, Derivation of the formula using the subsolar point and vector analysis & Formula

The solar zenith angle is the zenith angle of the Sun, i.e., the angle between the sun’s rays and the vertical direction. It is the complement to the solar altitude or solar elevation, which is the altitude angle or elevation angle between the Sun’s rays and a horizontal plane. Near (but usually not exactly at) solar noon, the zenith angle is at a…
