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 altitude of Polaris in the northern hemisphere?
The altitude of Polaris in the northern hemisphere is the same as the latitude at that point on Earth. For example, if you are at 40˚N, then the altitude of Polaris would be 40.Hope I answered your question! :)
How to calculate Polaris?
Find your latitude and that is the altitude of Polaris in the sky.
What is the altitude of Polaris at the equator?
0 Degrees
What is the altitude of polaris at Massena NY?
no
What would be the altitude of Polaris the North star for an observer located at 64oN latitude?
The altitude of polaris for an observer is always the same as your latitude so it would be 64oN
What location will the highest altitude of the star Polaris be observed?
If you are at the North Pole, you'll see the star Polaris near the zenit (altitude almost 90 degrees).
What is the altitude of Polaris on a clear night?
The altitude doesn't depend much on whether the night is clear.If you live in the northern hemisphere, the altitude of Polaris above the horizon will APPROXIMATELY be equal to your latitude. If you live in the southern hemisphere, Polaris will be BELOW the horizon, as many degrees as you are south of the equator.

What is the declination of polaris from Glasgow?
The "declination" of a star is its position in the sky on the celestial sphere, which stays the same for any observer.You may be thinking about how high Polaris is above the horizon.That's its "altitude".The altitude of Polaris always equals the latitude of the observer.That's been a great help to seafarers for centuries.Polaris has a declination of nearly 90 degrees.From Glasgow, its altitude in the northern sky is equal to the latitude of Glasgow.The latitude of Glasgow is about 55.9 degrees.So, the altitude of Polaris in Glasgow is about 55.9 degrees.
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.
