What is the altitude of Polaris on a clear night?
The altitude doesn't depend much on whether the night is clear.If you live in the northern hemisphere, the altitude of Polaris above the horizon will APPROXIMATELY be equal to your latitude. If you live in the southern hemisphere, Polaris will be BELOW the horizon, as many degrees as you are south of the equator.
What is your location if the South celestial pole appears on your meridian at an altitude of 30 degrees in the south?
If there were a way to see the south celestial pole, and it was 40 degrees above the horizon, then you would be somewhere along the line of 40 degrees south latitude. Unfortunately, there is no star at or near the south celestial pole, so there is no way for you to see the south celestial pole and observe its elevation.
At what latitude would an observer on earth find the altitude of polarris to be 37 degrees?
37 degrees north latitude
What is the defference between latitude and altitude?
latitude is how north or south a place is from the equator. altitude is how high you are from earth's surface
Where is the greatest measure of latitude?
The northernmost latitude on earth is 90 degreesnorth, at the north Pole.(The southernmost latitude on earth is 90 degreessouth, at the south Pole.)
How do you find the altitude of Polaris with a east longitude of 149 degrees and a south latitude of 35 degrees?
The altitude of Polaris is roughly equal to your north latitude. Your longitude has no effect on it.At 35 degrees south latitude, the altituide of Polaris is negative 35 degrees. In other words,it's 35 degrees below the point on the horizon due north of you, and you can't see it.

What is the altitude of the north celestial pole if You live at a latitude of 28 degrees North?
The asterism called the "Big Dipper" (which is the central part of the constellation named "Ursa Major") has two fairly prominent stars which act as a pointer to the north star Polaris. Polaris is a relatively dim and undistinguished star whose positioning almost directly above the north pole is very conveniently located in the sky.
What is the defference between latitude and altitude?
latitude is how north or south a place is from the equator. altitude is how high you are from earth's surface
What degrees is the north pole north latitude?
90 degrees north latitude and the south pole is 90 degrees south latitude
What is the difference of latitude from 30 degrees South to 60 degrees South?
Their difference is 30 degrees of latitude.
Where is the greatest measure of latitude?
The northernmost latitude on earth is 90 degreesnorth, at the north Pole.(The southernmost latitude on earth is 90 degreessouth, at the south Pole.)
What represents 90 degrees latitude?
90 degrees north latitude is the north pole. 90 degrees south latitude is the south pole.
What is the angle of Polaris above the horizon at New Orleans Louisiana?
The angle of Polaris above the horizon is the same as the latitude from which you are trying to measure it. Hollywood Florida has a latitude of ~26 degrees, so Polaris is 26 degrees above the northern horizon.
What is the latitude of an observer who measures an altitude of the sun above the southern horizon at 15.5(Degrees) at noon on the winter solstice?
The observer must be 15.5 degrees south of the Arctic circle, so 51.1 degrees north approximately.
