In SF (latitude 37.77°N), during summer solstice day (2012-06-20), at solar noon (13:11:25 pm PDT) [1], Sun is 37.77-23.44=14.33° from the Zenith. For comparison, at the Equator, at solar noon, during equinoxes, the Sun is 23.44° from Zenith. In your face, Equator! We win sometimes. Now, to really rub it in: cos(14.33°)/cos(23.44°)=1.06. Ha!
