Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Arctic and Antarctic circles are located at 66.5 degrees north and south latitude respectively. At these latitudes, the sun is directly overhead at least once a year, during the solstices. During the summer solstice, the sun's angle is 23.5 degrees above the horizon, while during the winter solstice it is 23.5 degrees below the horizon. Therefore, the change in degree's of the sun's angle between the summer and winter solstice is 47 degrees (23.5 + 23.5 = 47).
