The Sun's path throughout the year differs depending on the latitude:
Between the tropics (ϕ < 23.44°) – It's similar for each day. The Sun reaches zenith twice a year, while the day and night durations are comparable.
Middle latitudes (23.44° < ϕ < 66.56°) – The Sun's elevation is highest at the summer solstice and lowest at the winter solstice. In summer, the Sun rises and sets closer to the North azimuth, while in winter, these shift to the South azimuth.
Polar (ϕ < 66.56°) – The Sun never sets during the summer (midnight sun) or never rises in winter (polar night). The closer to the poles, the longer these last.
