In the northern hemisphere the altitude height in degrees above the horizon of the North Star is Always roughly equal to the?
latitude of the observer
When will the northern hemisphere be dark?
There is no time when the complete northern hemisphere is dark. As the earth rotates there is always some part of the northern hemisphere facing the sun, so it is bright there, and there is always a part of it that is facing away from the sun, so it is dark there.
Does the sun rise in the southern hemisphere first?
No. The Sun is always above the horizon somewhere in the Southern hemisphere just as it always is above the horizon somewhere in the Northern hemisphere. About half of each hemisphere is illuminated at every instant (well more of the Southern hemisphere is illuminated from the end of September to the end of March and more of the Northern hemisphere during the other half year).
