Seattle's latitude is about 47.6 degrees North. So the altitude of Polaris
above the northern horizon is always within about 1/3 degree of that angle
as seen from there.

What is 70 degrees above the north horizon?
Looking toward the north, the ray from you through the point 70 degrees above the horizon. 90 degrees would be directly overhead.Notation such as this is used to announce sightings of the International Space Station, for example:
What is the angle between the northern horizon and the North star Polaris if your latitude is 75 degrees north?
The North star will be 75 degrees above the horizon. Whatever degree you are at latitude, the North star will be the same degrees up. So at the north pole (90 degrees north), the star will be at the zenith (straight up). While at the equator (0 degrees north) the star will be at the horizon.

In which direction you can find the star dhru?
It seems that "Dhruv" or "Dhruva" is identified with the pole star - probably Polaris. That one is to the north, at a altitude, above the horizon, approximate equal to your latitude. (If you live 50 degrees north, it should be 50 degrees above the horizon.)
How many degrees below the horizon does the sun go at night on the winter solstice at latitude 57 degrees north?
On the winter solstice at a latitude of 57 degrees north, the sun will be about 33 degrees below the horizon at night. This is because the tilt of the Earth causes the sun to not rise above a certain angle during the winter months at this latitude.
What is your locate when the north celestial pole is 35.0 above your northern horizon?
In that case, you live at a latitude of 35 degrees north.
What is the angle of Polaris above Fairbanks Alaska?
Fairbanks is located at latitude 64.8 degrees north, so the north celestial pole is always 64.8 degrees above the horizon. Polaris itself is presently about 0.7 degrees from the celestial pole, so its altitude above the horizon will vary between 64.1 and 65.5 degrees during the course of a sidereal day.
If you look up at the north star and it is off the horizon 29degree's what is your latitude?
If the star Polaris is 29 degrees above the horizon, then your latitude is about 29 degrees North.Polaris is not exactly above the North Pole, but it is only about one-half degree away from that.
