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

The altitude of Polaris, or the North Star, can be roughly estimated as equal to the latitude of the observer. Mamaroneck, New York, is situated at approximately 40.95° N latitude. Therefore, the altitude of Polaris from Mamaroneck would be about 40.95 degrees above the northern horizon.

The approximate longitude of Watertown, NY is 76 degrees W.
The approximate longitude of New York is 0-74 degrees.
New Zealand is located at latitude -40.900557 and longitude 174.885971.
Every point on Earth has a different set of latitude and longitude coordinates. -- California spans all latitudes between about 32.53° and 42° north. -- New York state spans all latitudes between about 40.48° and 45.02° north. -- California's northern border is 3.02° south of New York's. -- California's southern border is 7.95° south of New York's. -- California's total north/south extent spans 208.6% of the latitude range of New York's. Past that, we're not sure what you're looking for, but here's the data.
