answer: It would rise above the horizon 10°. hope it helps!
If you are right at the Equator, you will not be able to see Polaris. If you could, it would be right on the horizon, but ground haze and obstructions would almost certainly hide it from view.
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.
Polaris (or the North Star) is almost directly above the North pole. This means that when you stand on the north pole and look directly up, you will see Polaris. This also means that when you stand at the equator and look directly north, you will see Polaris on the horizon. You can not see Polaris from the Southern Hemisphere. The angle Polaris is above the horizon is equal to the degree latitude that you are standing on. Therefore at the equator, Polaris is 0 degrees above the horizon and at the north pole, Polaris is 90 degrees above the horizon.
It is not visible at or south of the Equator. Theoretically , it would appear on the horizon. Remember the Pole Star is overhead at 90 degree N. (The North Pole). So when you have reached the Equator, your angle has changed by 90 degrees because you are now at 0(zero) degrees. So viewing the sky Polaris (Pole Star) will has now changed its angle by 90 degrees. So from being overhead, a 90 degree angle will be the horizon. You don't see Polaris at the Equator, because of the density of the atmosphere, dust and dirt and moisture in the atmosphere.
Polaris always sits within about 1/2 degree from the point in the sky that's the same angle above the northern horizon as your latitude. For example, if you're standing at the north pole, the point is directly over your head, and if you're anywhere on the equator, the point is on the horizon directly north of you.
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.
You can see it from anywhere in North America, and the parts of South America that are north of the equator.
If you are right at the Equator, you will not be able to see Polaris. If you could, it would be right on the horizon, but ground haze and obstructions would almost certainly hide it from view.
If you are at the equator, the Earth's celestial pole would be at the northern horizon. However, because of atmospheric haze, you would not be able to see Polaris. Below about 5 degrees north, Polaris is not visible.
From any location north of the Equator: The north star (Polaris) is in the sky, always due north of you, and always as many degrees above the horizon as your latitude north of the equator. It makes no difference what time you look for it, or where you are in an east or west direction.
If Polaris appears 60° above the northern horizon, then you are pretty near 60° north latitude. If you're on the equator ... 0° north latitude ... then Polaris is on the horizon ... 0° altitude. If you're at the north pole ... 90° north latitude ... then Polaris is over your head ... 90° altitude. The altitude above the northern horizon at which Polaris appears is nearly identical to your north latitude. ================================================= The difference (error) between Polaris and the real North Celestial Pole is about 0.7 degree. Not good enough for precise navigation or surveying, but just fine for directions when you're hiking.
No, only from the half of the Earth's surface that's north of the equator ... known as the "northern hemisphere".
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.
The angle of the altitude of Polaris is equal to the observer's latitude. However, this is only true if you are in the Northern Hemisphere. For example, at the North Pole it is directly overhead and at the equator it is on the horizon and at 45 degrees North it is 45 degrees above you.
Polaris (or the North Star) is almost directly above the North pole. This means that when you stand on the north pole and look directly up, you will see Polaris. This also means that when you stand at the equator and look directly north, you will see Polaris on the horizon. You can not see Polaris from the Southern Hemisphere. The angle Polaris is above the horizon is equal to the degree latitude that you are standing on. Therefore at the equator, Polaris is 0 degrees above the horizon and at the north pole, Polaris is 90 degrees above the horizon.
Within about 1/3 degree of the point on your horizon due north of you. Most likely not visible to you.
It is not visible at or south of the Equator. Theoretically , it would appear on the horizon. Remember the Pole Star is overhead at 90 degree N. (The North Pole).
