At what latitude would an observer on earth find the altitude of polarris to be 37 degrees?
37 degrees north latitude
Is Polaris almost at plus 90 degrees?
Yes, Polaris is about 89 and 1/4 degrees
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 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 degrees of Santa Fe?
The latitude of downtown Santa Fe NM is 35.6869 north. That's degree-plus-decimal notation: 35 degrees north, plus .6869 of a degree. It's equal to 35 degrees 41 minutes north latitude.
What makes more sense plus 40 degrees in latitude or just 40 degrees in latitude?
Either is understandable. Traditionally, the absence of a plus sign means a positive number anyway.
What is the latitude and longitude of Santa Fe New Mexico?
The latitude of downtown Santa Fe NM is 35.6869 north. That's degree-plus-decimal notation: 35 degrees north, plus .6869 of a degree. It's equal to 35 degrees 41 minutes north latitude.
What is the unit of measurement used for reading lines of longitude and latitude?
You would use angular degrees or angular degrees plus minutes and seconds.
What sea is 20 degrees north latitude plus 39 degrees east longitude?
That point is in the Red Sea. So are many others.
What countries between 2 to 6 degrees latitude and 110 to 118 degrees longitude?
That area includes all of the Philippines, plus small parts of Malaysia and Indonesia in the southwest corner of the box.
What size pool hose fits the Polaris 360 and does it have to be a Polaris hose?
The Polaris 360 is designed to operate with "Brand Specific" hose available from a Polaris distributer (e.g. Pool Gear Plus. It is approximately 11/4".
What is the number of 1 degree latitude and longitude lines that can be drawn on a globe?
90 degrees north latitude and 90 degrees south latitude are the maximum values; they represent the exact locations of the pole. Zero degrees is the equator. 180 degrees longitude is the exact limit of longitude; it represents the originally defined location of the International Date Line, exactly opposite the Prime Meridian. Oh. On second reading (and some editing of the question) I finally grasped the question. Latitude: the equator is one. Then there is one to eighty nine in the north, and again in the south. 90 degrees north and south are points, not lines. That makes 179 lines of latitude. Then you have the Prime Meridian (one); and 179 degrees east, and again west. That's 359. Then there is 180 degrees which makes 360 lines of longitude. 179 plus 360 equals 539 lines total.
