Answer: this exact measurement of solar altitude varies depending on your latitude and the time of year. If your latitude is 44 degrees north, the solar altitude at solar noon during an equinox will be 90 minus 44, or 46 degrees. During the summer solstice, the solar altitude at solar noon will be 69.5 degrees.
