Question

part (e) among the statements below describing the relationship between the suns maximum altitude and the observers latitude, which is not accurate? at all northern latitudes, the sun always reaches its maximum altitude in the southern portion of the sky. at latitudes north of 24° n the sun never passes through the zenith. at latitudes south of 24° s the sun reaches its maximum altitude in the northern portion of the sky. at latitudes north of 24° n the sun reaches its maximum altitude in the northern portion of the sky. the sun passes through the zenith at some point at multiple latitudes. submit hint feedback i give up! 3 submission(s) remaining

Explanation:

The Sun passes through the zenith (directly overhead) only within the tropics (between 23.5°N and 23.5°S). It does not pass through the zenith at multiple latitudes outside of this region. For latitudes north of 24°N, the Sun reaches its maximum altitude in the southern - portion of the sky, and for latitudes south of 24°S, the Sun reaches its maximum altitude in the northern - portion of the sky. Also, north of 24°N, the Sun never passes through the zenith.

Answer:

The Sun passes through the zenith at some point at multiple latitudes.
