What is What is the relationship between latitude in the North Hemisphere and Polaris?
there both scrubs
What is the relation between a particular latitude and the angle of polaris above the horizon at that latitude?
whatever latitude you are at, that is the angle to polaris.. and the other way around
What is the relationship between a particular latitude and the angle of Polaris above the horizon at that latitude?
The angle of Polaris above the northern horizon is very nearly equal to your north latitude, within about 1/3 of a degree. So it's over your head when you stand at the north pole, it sits nominally on your north horizon when you stand anywhere on the equator, and if you're south of the equator, you can never see it at all.
If the angle between Polaris and the horizon is 40 degress what is your approximate latitude?
The latitude would also be approximately 40 degrees in this case.
How the latitude of an observer may be determined by observation of the pole star?
The angle between the Pole Star and the horizon is equal to your latitude.
How do you measure latitude by polaris?
Polaris (or the North Star) is almost directly above the North pole. This means that when you stand on the north pole and look directly up, you will see Polaris. This also means that when you stand at the equator and look directly north, you will see Polaris on the horizon. You can not see Polaris from the Southern Hemisphere. The angle Polaris is above the horizon is equal to the degree latitude that you are standing on. Therefore at the equator, Polaris is 0 degrees above the horizon and at the north pole, Polaris is 90 degrees above the horizon.

What is the relationship between observation and explanation?
You must observe to explain.
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 the relationship between latitude and nautical miles?
1 degree of latitude=60 nautical miles
What is the relationship between the latitude and diversity?
Latitude refers to where places are, and diversity is the sharing of the cultures in those places.
What is the connection between the altitude of polaris and the longitude of poughkeepsie ny?
No connection whatsoever. The altitude of Polaris as seen from anywherein the northern hemisphere is roughly equal to the observer's latitude, andis independent of longitude.
