angle of the sun in holland

I am posting an email I received from Clair Garman. You can tell he wants to see what I look like colored orange. (My bolding for emphasis)

Erik,

Please, please get a tan.

According to my calculations, the sun at noon in Den Haag (Nov. 14) is about 23 degrees above the horizon. On Dec 21, it will be about 15 degrees. I am depressed just thinking of that. The angles for DC are 36 currently and 28 degrees. Your latitude is approximately 52 degrees N; ours is 39 degrees N.

Please get a tan.
