Answer:

108.217 °

Explanation:

Day of year = 356 = d (Considering year of 365 days)

Latitude of Tropic of Cancer = 23.5 °N

Declination angle

δ = 23.45×sin[(360/365)(d+284)]

⇒δ = 23.45×sin[(360/365)(356+284)]

⇒δ = 5.2832 °

Altitude angle at solar noon

90+Latitude-Declination angle

= 90+23.5-5.2832

= 108.217 °

∴ Altitude angle of the Sun as seen from the tropic of cancer on December 22 is 108.217 °
