At what angle does the sun's rays hit the earth on dec 21 sept 23 June 21 and March 21 in Buffalo NY?

In fact, the Sun's rays strike Buffalo, NY at various angles as the Sun rises on the eastern horizon, crosses to the South, and then sets in the west. The only angle that we're really interested in is the "local apparent noon", or "Sun transit" angle. Buffalo is a large city, and the angle will be different on the north edge or the south edge. Niagara Square, pretty close to the city center, is at latitude 42.88 degrees north. Consulting the Nautical Almanac Online for 2011, I see that the declination of the Sun as it passes Buffalo on March 21, 2011 will be 0 degrees 16 minutes north, or 0.27 degrees. On June 21, 23 degrees 26 minutes north, or 23.38 degrees. On September 21, the Sun will be at declination 0 degrees 39 minutes North, or 0.65, and on December 21, 23 degrees 26 minutes SOUTH, or 23.36. So, on March 21, the "local apparent noon" Sun elevation angle above the southern horizon will be 90 minus Buffalo's latitude of 42.88 degrees PLUS the declination of 0.27 degrees, or 47.39 degrees On June 21, the Sun's maximum elevation will be 90 minus 42.88 PLUS 23.38, or 70.5 degrees. I'll let you calculate the other two, remembering to subtract the declination when it is south.


How do you determine the date of a buffalo nickel if it's worn off?

Buffalo nickels had a design defect that caused the date to wear off quickly. Unfortunately there's nothing you can do to recover the date without further damaging the coin.The only option is a mild acid called Nic-A-Date that can etch away some of the top metal to possibly recover a readable date from metal that flowed below the coin's surface under the pressure of being struck in the coin press. The acid will destroy any collectible value the coin might have had IF the date were visible, but dateless nickels are considered culls with a maximum value of 10 to 25 cents anyway. At least you can know the date without trashing a valuable coin.
