You are somewhere on the earth's parallel of 35° north latitude. Also, as seen from your vantage point,
it's probably night-time. Furthermore, if the setting circles of your telescope are wet, it's probably raining.

∙ 14y agoYour location is somewhere on the parallel of 35 degrees north latitude.
You could be in northern Morocco, northern Algeria, on Crete or Cyprus, in Syria, Iraq, Iran,
Afghanistan, or Pakistan, China, South Korea, or Japan. You could be near Barstow California,
Flagstaff Arizona, Albuquerque New Mexico, Amarillo Texas, McAlester Oklahoma, or Little Rock
Arkansas. You could be on the Tennessee/Mississippi line, the Tennessee/Alabama line, or the
Tennessee/Georgia line. You could be near Rock Hill South Carolina, or Fayetteville North Carolina.
But wherever you are, your latitude is 35 degrees north.

What latitude on earth is a celestial pole 45 above the horizon'?
At 45 degrees north latitude, the north celestial pole appears 45 degrees above the northern horizon. At 45 degrees south latitude, the south celestial pole appears 45 degrees above the southern horizon.
What is the angle between the zenith and North celestial pole if you are at 37 degrees latitude?
If your latitude is 39 degrees north, then the north celestial poleis 39 degrees above your northern horizon.If your latitude is 39 degrees south, then the north celestial poleis 39 degrees below your northern horizon.
What is your location if the South celestial pole appears on your meridian at an altitude of 30 degrees in the south?
If there were a way to see the south celestial pole, and it was 40 degrees above the horizon, then you would be somewhere along the line of 40 degrees south latitude. Unfortunately, there is no star at or near the south celestial pole, so there is no way for you to see the south celestial pole and observe its elevation.
What is the altitude of polaris above the horizon at the tropic of cancer?
Polaris will be 23.5 degrees above the northern horizon when viewed from the Tropic of Cancer.
What is the altitude of Polaris in Albany?
Since Polaris is (more or less) directly over the celestial pole, for any point in the northern hemisiphere it will be a number of degrees above the (theoretical) horizon equivalent to the latitude of the location you're observing it from. Its altitude above the actual horizon may be different, due the fact that the Earth isn't a perfect sphere.
What latitude on earth is a celestial pole 45 above the horizon'?
At 45 degrees north latitude, the north celestial pole appears 45 degrees above the northern horizon. At 45 degrees south latitude, the south celestial pole appears 45 degrees above the southern horizon.
What is the angle between the zenith and North celestial pole if you are at 37 degrees latitude?
If your latitude is 39 degrees north, then the north celestial poleis 39 degrees above your northern horizon.If your latitude is 39 degrees south, then the north celestial poleis 39 degrees below your northern horizon.
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.
If you were standing on the earth's equator where would you look to see the north celestial pole Could you see it from Australia?
At the equator, the celestial north pole would be north, just at the horizon. In the southern hemisphere, for instance in Australia, the north celestial pole would be north, and as many degrees BELOW the horizon as your latitude. For instance, if you are 10 degrees south of the equator, the celestial north pole would be 10 degrees below the equator.On the other hand, for people in the southern hemisphere, the celestial SOUTH pole would be ABOVE the horizon; this same pole is below the horizon for anybody in the northern hemisphere.
What is your location if the South celestial pole appears on your meridian at an altitude of 30 degrees in the south?
If there were a way to see the south celestial pole, and it was 40 degrees above the horizon, then you would be somewhere along the line of 40 degrees south latitude. Unfortunately, there is no star at or near the south celestial pole, so there is no way for you to see the south celestial pole and observe its elevation.
By locating the north celestial pole how can you determine your latitude?
The altitude of the celestial pole from the horizon actually tells you your latitude. So If I locate Polaris, the star that our earth's celestial pole points to and I see it's 40 degrees above the horizon to the north, I know that my latitude is 40 degrees north. Think about the extremes, if your on the equator looking for the celestial pole, you would see it on the northern horizon correct? (0 degrees) Now think of where the celestial pole would be pointing when on the north pole. You guessed it, straight up! (90 degrees)
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.
What is the altitude of polaris above the northern horizon for observer a?
90 degrees
What is the angle of the celestial north pole above the horizon in Frankfurt Germany?
The altitude of the celestial north pole above the northern horizon is exactlythe observer's north latitude on the earth. The center of Frankfurt is very closeto 50° North latitude.
If you were located on the Earth's equator and were observing the nighttime sky you would find the North Celestial Pole lying at on your?
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.
What is the altitude of polaris above the horizon at the tropic of cancer?
Polaris will be 23.5 degrees above the northern horizon when viewed from the Tropic of Cancer.
