What are the altitude and azimuth coordinates of the North Celestrial Pole in new york?
The azimuth of the North Celestial Pole is zero ... it's due North. The altitude of the North Celestial Pole is the same as your north latitude. In mid-town Manhattan, that's about 42.6 degrees.
How is the altitude of the North Celestial Pole above the northern horizon related to the observer's latitude?
The altitude of the North Celestial Pole above the northern horizon is equal to the observer's latitude. This means that the higher the observer's latitude, the higher the North Celestial Pole will appear in the sky. For example, an observer at a latitude of 45 degrees will see the North Celestial Pole 45 degrees above the northern horizon.
If the altitude of polaris is 44 degrees what is the latitude?
If the altitude of Polaris is 44 degrees, this means that the observer's latitude is also 44 degrees north. This is because Polaris, the North Star, is positioned nearly directly above the North Pole, and its altitude corresponds to the observer's latitude in the Northern Hemisphere. Therefore, an altitude of 44 degrees indicates a geographic location at 44 degrees north latitude.
The latitude of the North Star is always equal to the altitude of the viewer?
The idea is there, but a couple of important terms are swapped.The altitude of the North Star above the northern horizon is approximately equal tothe observer's north latitude.
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.
What is 90 degree latitude called?
It's called a "pole" of the Earth's axis. "90° North latitude" is the north pole. "90° South latitude" is the south pole.
What is the altitude of the north star from Minneapolis?
The altitude of the North Star, or Polaris, from Minneapolis is approximately 45 degrees above the northern horizon. This is because Polaris is located nearly directly above the North Pole, and its altitude in the sky corresponds closely to the observer's latitude. Minneapolis is situated at about 45 degrees north latitude, making Polaris appear roughly at this altitude.
How much latitude does the North Pole measure?
The North Pole is at 90 degrees North Latitude.
What you the latitude of the North pole and south pole?
The latitude at the north pole is 90° North. Thg elatitude at the south pole is 90° South.
What is 90 degrees from north in latitude?
The North pole is defined at geodetic latitude 90
Where is the greatest measure of latitude?
The northernmost latitude on earth is 90 degreesnorth, at the north Pole.(The southernmost latitude on earth is 90 degreessouth, at the south Pole.)
What degrees is the north pole north latitude?
90 degrees north latitude and the south pole is 90 degrees south latitude
