Solar Elevation Angle

Solar Elevation Angle is an angular measurement in atmospheric and astronomical sciences that denotes the angle between the center of the Sun's disk and the local horizon plane, measured in degrees above the horizon, thereby distinguishing it from solar zenith angle by quantifying the Sun’s elevation rather than its angular distance from the vertical.
