What is the approximate latitude of Polaris in New York?
Polaris (the "North Star") doesn't have a latitude. But that's OK, because latitude is not what you're looking for. You're really trying to ask for its "elevation" ... the angle between the horizon and Polaris in the sky. That angle is equal to the observer's north latitude, so it would be easy to answer if we knew what location you're actually interested in. Here are a few possibilities: -- Massena NY . . . . . 44.9° above the northern horizon -- Rochester NY . . . . 43.2° above the northern horizon -- Buffalo NY . . . . . . 42.9° above the northern horizon -- 85th St Transverse in Central Park, Manhattan . . . 40.8° above the northern horizon

At which New york state location is the altitude of polaris closest to forty five degrees?
Just north of Massena, NY, there is a park called St. Lawrence State Park. Barnhart Island is part of that park. If you cross onto Barnhard Island and head for the beach, the south end of the parking lot is exactly at 45 degrees north. The question, however, is where is the altitude of the star Polaris closest to 45 degrees. Polaris is not PRECISELY above the North Pole; it is actually about 0.6 degrees away. So depending on the time of day, Polaris could be a 45 degrees elevation anywhere within about 30 miles of the New York/Canada border.
