What is the farthes possible distance from the equator in therms of degree?
The farthest you can get from the equator is to stand on the north pole or the south pole.The north pole is at 90 degrees north latitude. The south pole is at 90 degrees south latitude.
What is the relationship between a particular latitude and the angle of Polaris above the horizon at that latitude?
The angle of Polaris above the northern horizon is very nearly equal to your north latitude, within about 1/3 of a degree. So it's over your head when you stand at the north pole, it sits nominally on your north horizon when you stand anywhere on the equator, and if you're south of the equator, you can never see it at all.
Is the equator north or south of the equator?

Why gravity is stronger at poles than along the equator.do you know why?
Since the earth is spinning ... an object on the equator is moving roughly 1,000 miles per hour ... the earth is somewhat bulged at the equator. Its diameter at the equator is a little larger than the distance between the north and south poles. For that reason, when you stand at the pole, you're a bit closer to the center of the earth than when you stand on the equator. The farther you are from the center of the earth, the lower the force of gravity between you and the earth. So the force is less at the equator and more at the poles.
Why is Polaris at its highest latitude in the Arctic Circle?
The Earthg's north pole points very close to Polaris in the sky. So Polaris is directly over your head when you stand at the north pole, it's on your horizon when you stand on the equator, and it's somewhere between your horizon and the point directly over your head when you stand somewhere between the north pole and the equator.
