Why is it important to consider the angle of correction to the North Pole when setting up a sundial?
Assuming you are using a compass to align the sundial, it will point to the Magnetic North Pole. The Earth rotates about the True North Pole, which is not in the same location. By obtaining the magnetic variation for your locale, you can make the adjustment and have an accurate set up.
What would be different about a sundial in the north pole?
A sundial in the north pole would have a steeper and shorter gnomon compared to sundials in lower latitudes. The spacing of the hour markers in a sundial in the north pole would be same; the hour lines would be 24 hours.
How do you find the angle of elevation from the tip of the shadow of a 12 foot flag pole to the top of the pole is 60 degrees?
is that the entire question because you already gave the angle, meaning you now have every angle for the triangle created by the pole and shadow

Does the suns angle matter?
north and south pole
How many kilometers from the south pole to Adelaide?

Top of the pole a rope is at a 62 degree angle the rope is 15 feet out from the base of the pole how tall is the pole?
28.21 feet or 28ft 3in
Why is the average temperature at the equator higher than the south pole?
The sunlight hits the equator at a direct angle. Sunlight glances off the south pole at an angle, so less of it is absorbed.
How does the angle of incidence change as you move away from the equator to the north pole or south pole on the march equinox?
secret
How tall is a light pole that casts a 24 foot shadow?
You need more info, probably an angle of elevation or something like that. It may be 14ft tall.
How the latitude of an observer may be determined by observation of the pole star?
The angle between the Pole Star and the horizon is equal to your latitude.
If a man 5 ft tall observes that the angle of depression of the base of the pole is 30 degrees and that the angle of elevation of the top of the pol is 60 degrees how high is the pole in feet?
25 feet
