If your latitude is 39 degrees north, then the north celestial pole
is 39 degrees above your northern horizon.
If your latitude is 39 degrees south, then the north celestial pole
is 39 degrees below your northern horizon.

∙ 12y agoIf you're at 37 degrees south latitude, then the north celestial pole is 127 degrees
down from the zenith. That means it's 37 degrees below your northern horizon, and
you can't see it at all.
If you're at 37 degrees north latitude, then the north celestial pole is 53 degrees
down from your zenith, and 37 degrees above your northern horizon.

∙ 11y ago-- If your latitude is 39° North, then the south celestial pole is 39° below
your southern horizon, and you can't see it.
-- If your latitude is 39° South, then the south celestial pole is 39° above
your southern horizon. Actually, you still can't see it, because there are no
bright stars to mark it. But if you know where it is, you can point to it, because
it's always in your sky, above the horizon.

How far from zenith is the celestial equator when it crosses the celestial?
The angle between the celestial equator and your personal zenith is equal to the latitude of your location. (Whether it's north or south latitude doesn't matter, and neither does your longitude or the time of day or night where you are.)
If Polaris is 20 degrees from your zenith what is your latitude?
Within 1/2 degree of 70N. Polaris is not EXACTLY above the North Pole; it is about 0.6 degrees from it.
An observer at a latitude of 79 Degrees North sees the Sun at the zenith at noon on which days?
An observer at latitude 79°, whether north or south, can never see the sun at his zenith. That's only possible for observers whose latitude is less than 23.5°, either north or south.
What is the imagenary point in the sky directly above an observer on Earth?
That's the observer's 'zenith'. Since it's referenced to the "observer's head", each observer has a different zenith.
What is the point on the celestial sphere directly above observer?
The zenith.

The angle between the celestial equator and your personal zenith is equal to the latitude of your location. (Whether it's north or south latitude doesn't matter, and neither does your longitude or the time of day or night where you are.)
From the horizon to the observer's zenith is an angle of?
30 degrees for observers at a latitude of 30 degrees north
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.
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.
What is the altitude of the sun above the northern horizon at noon in Jakarta Indonesia on the winter solstice(Assume the latitude of Jakarta is 6(Degrees south)?
At the time of the southern hemisphere's winter solstice, the sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer, which circles Earth at 23.44° north latitude. So at 6° south latitude the sun appears 29.44° from the zenith (a location's zenith is directly overhead). Since there are 90° between the zenith and the horizon, the angle for which you are looking is the difference between 90° and 29.44°, 60.56°.
If Polaris is 20 degrees from your zenith what is your latitude?
Within 1/2 degree of 70N. Polaris is not EXACTLY above the North Pole; it is about 0.6 degrees from it.
An observer at a latitude of 79 Degrees North sees the Sun at the zenith at noon on which days?
An observer at latitude 79°, whether north or south, can never see the sun at his zenith. That's only possible for observers whose latitude is less than 23.5°, either north or south.
Define true zenith distance n meridional zenith distance?
Defining true zenith distance is knowing the difference between Africa and south America.True zenith distance is associated with Greenwich line and meridional zenith distance is defined with the celestial equator which instructs the basin of south america. -AG
At what latitude is the noon sun at zenith?
That may happen - at different times of the year - in any latitude between the tropics - that is, between 23.5 degrees north, and 23.5 degrees south. Note that this angle is precisely the tilt of Earth's axis.
What is the imagenary point in the sky directly above an observer on Earth?
That's the observer's 'zenith'. Since it's referenced to the "observer's head", each observer has a different zenith.
What is the point on the celestial sphere directly above observer?
The zenith.
What is the angle between the northern horizon and the North star Polaris if your latitude is 75 degrees north?
The North star will be 75 degrees above the horizon. Whatever degree you are at latitude, the North star will be the same degrees up. So at the north pole (90 degrees north), the star will be at the zenith (straight up). While at the equator (0 degrees north) the star will be at the horizon.
