Well actually, ALL constellations are circumpolar, but we use the word to mean
stars and constellations that are close enough to the poles of the sky that they
never get low enough to set below the horizon.
Any star that's within (your latitude) degrees of the pole does that.
If you're at the north or south pole, every star that's within 90 degrees of
the celestial pole is 'circumpolar'. That is, whenever it's dark and clear, you
see exactly half of the whole sky, and it's always the same half no matter
what time it is. Every star in your half of the sky makes a circle around the
point directly over your head. No star in your sky ever rises or sets, and
you never see any star that's in the other half of the sky.

∙ 14y agoThe south celestial pole is surrounded by relatively boring dim stars, among the constellations
Octans, Apus, and Chamaeleon. There's nothing around to point to it or mark it, like there is
at the north celestial pole.

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.
Is The south celestial pole is located at a declination of -90 degrees?
The Celestial Poles are the infinite extension of the North and South Poles from the Earth into space. The North Star or Polaris, is within 1 degree of the North Celestial Pole. There is no equivalent star for the South Celestial Pole.
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.
Can you see the position of the north celetial pole from Argentina?
No. Argenrtina is entirely south of the equator, so the north celestial pole is not visible.
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 the celestial pole?
The celestial poles are located directley above the Earth's north and south pole.
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.
Where on earth would you go to place a celestial pole on your zenith?
To place a celestial pole on your zenith, you would travel to the North or South Pole. Your zenith is the imaginary point directly above your head.
Where do you have to be on earth to see the south celestial pole directly overhead?
At the south pole.
Is The south celestial pole is located at a declination of -90 degrees?
The Celestial Poles are the infinite extension of the North and South Poles from the Earth into space. The North Star or Polaris, is within 1 degree of the North Celestial Pole. There is no equivalent star for the South Celestial Pole.
What are polar constellations?
They are the constellations at the celestial north & south poles - Ursa Minor (the little bear) is at the celestial North Pole and the Southern Cross is a constellation near the celestial South Pole.
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.
How bright is the south star?
While there is a star which is, entirely coincidentally, pretty close to the North Celestial Pole, there is no corresponding star near the South Celestial Pole.
Where would you go on earth if you wanted to be able to see both the north celestial pole and the south celestial pole at the same time?
To see both the north celestial pole and the south celestial pole at the same time a person would need to standing at the equator. The atmospheric haze may interfere near the horizon may obstruct the view.
Where would you go on earth to see a celestial pole at your zenith?
A person would have to visit the equator for the celestial equator to pass through your zenith or one would have to be at the south pole for the south celestial pole to be at your zenith. You would not see this, but you could note it.
Can you see the north celestial pole from the US?
Yes. For any point on Earth that is north of the equator, the north celestial pole is above the horizon.
Where would the celestial equator be found from the north pole?
SOUTH
