If its is possible to bring the observer directly over the equator and facing the north pole at such a distance that he can see the whole earth how would the meridians appear?

What is the angle of declination and how do you use it?
An angle of declination is relevant when an observer is at a higher altitude than the object being observed. It is the angle made by the line of sight with the horizontal. Suppose this is angle x. Then if the altitude of the observer is known to be h, then line-of-sight distance to the object is h*sin(x). The object is h*tan(x) from the point below the observer at the level of the object.Conversely, if the line-of-sight distance from the object to the observer or the horizontal distance to the point directly below the observer is known, it is possible to calculate the height of the observer.
What is the distance between (-54) (-36)?
First of all, a meridian can be drawn at any longitude, there's no standard set of them, and there are actually an infinite number of possible different ones. So in order to get anywhere with this question, you'd have to specify which two of them you're interested in. But even if you named two meridians, there's no single answer to the question, because the distance between any pair of meridians changes. They're farthest apart where they cross the equator, and ALL meridians come together at a single point at the north and south poles. The distance in one degree of longitude is about 69 miles on the equator, and it shrinks smoothly to zero at the poles. The distance between any two meridians is (69 miles) x (degrees of longitude between them) x (cosine of the latitude where you measure it).
Why does the distance between meridians decrease as they approach the poles?
If you draw circles around the Earth horizontally, the circles at the top and the bottom are going to have a smaller radius. But there are still the same number of meridians passing through each and every one of those circles. Logically it follows that in order for that scenario to be possible, they must get closer together at the poles of the planet. They all come together at the poles.
Is it possible to move a source of sound relative to a stationary observer so that there is no shift in the frequency of the sound?
For the sound from a source not to be shift in frequency , the radial velocity of the source to the observer must be zero : that is the source must not be moving towards or away from the observer

An observer on another planet might see eclipses?
It is possible, but the observer wouldn't see the eclipses that we observe from earth's surface. There would certainly not be another planet that offers the perfect total solar eclipses that we enjoy. They are a happy accident of time for us. The moon (which is very slowly moving farther away) is at the perfect distance to give us those magnificent eclipses where the face of the sun is perfectly blocked.
Can Distance problems can only be solved if two of the variable values are directly given True or false?
No, it is not true. It is possible to derive the answer even if the variable values need to be derived from other information.
What is the driving distance from Connecticut to Newfoundland?
The driving distance from Connecticut to Newfoundland is approximately 1,300 miles. However, it is not possible to drive directly between the two due to the Atlantic Ocean between them. Travel would require taking a ferry or flying.

Is it possible to have a negative solution when using the distance formula?
No, it is not possible to have a negative solution when using the distance formula. Even if you were to go backwards, the distance would still be a positive number.
How does the geography effect the people living in England?
Britain is an island so it isn't possible to drive directly from England to continental Europe, even though the distance is only 22 miles at its closest point.
