Zero longitude / Zero latitude is a point offshore of west Africa in the Gulf of Guinea,
about 380 miles south of Accra, Ghana.
Altitude is typically measured relative to Mean Sea Level. Since your point is well out
in the open ocean, it's probably best to simply say that zero altitude at that spot is
the long-term average of the water's surface there.

How does the altitude of Polaris change with latitude?
the altitude of polaris is same as the latitude of your location assuming that you are in the northern hemisphere
What is the defference between latitude and altitude?
latitude is how north or south a place is from the equator. altitude is how high you are from earth's surface
What is the altitude and latitude of the Nile River?
The Nile River is very long, so it covers a huge range of altitude and latitude.
If you measure polaris at an altitude of 60 degrees where are you on earth?
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.

What is the latitude of an observer if the altitude of polaris is 43 degrees?
The latitude of the observer is equal to the altitude of Polaris. Therefore, if the altitude of Polaris is 43 degrees, then the latitude of the observer is 43 degrees.
Temperature is determined primarily by what?
latitude and altitude

Does altitude and latitude affect the desert?
Yes it does. The higher the altitude, the cooler the temperature in general.
