Declination - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In astronomy, declination (abbrev. dec or δ ) is one of the two coordinates of the equatorial coordinate system, the other being either right ascension or hour angle. Dec is comparable to latit...

The declination of the sun is the angle between the equator and a line drawn from the centre of the Earth to the centre of the sun. The seasonal variation of the declination angle is shown in the animation below.

The declination of the Sun changes over the course of the year. During the spring equinox, the declination of the Sun is zero. And then it reaches its maximum declination of 23.5° during the summer solstice.

As stated above, when the Sun achieves maximum declination North or South (23°27.5'), there is a change of season and if you in the northern hemisphere observe the seasonal changes, June 21 is a time of warm weather, but not for another two months approximately do we get the brunt of the heat from the Sun.

Right Ascension and Declination ... When the Sun is at one of the equinoxes the lengths of day and night are equivalent (equinox derives from a root meaning "equal night"). The time of the Vernal Equinox is typically about March 21 and of the Autumnal Equinox about September 22.
