The Tropic of Cancer runs near the FL Keys / Cuba and is the northern limit of the wobble.

My question is : how high (or low) does the sun appear in extreme northern climes like N. Canada, Sweden, Alaska, etc. I’ll assume the sun hugs the horizon “overnight” offering a nice twilight affect, and then rising mid-day during “working” hours-—perhaps in the 30-40 degree range above horizon.

Curious in sun-baked AZ.

Love to go to those “live” cams in Alaska were the Brown bear are catching fish. Go at 11pm mountain time and it is still has daylight.

It’s called ‘altitude’.

On the Arctic Circle today the sun will go between right at the horizon at midnight to 47 degrees altitude at noon.
