What would be the altitude of Polaris the North star for an observer located at 64oN latitude?
The altitude of polaris for an observer is always the same as your latitude so it would be 64oN
What is the latitude of an observer if the altitude of polaris is 43 degrees?
The latitude of the observer is equal to the altitude of Polaris. Therefore, if the altitude of Polaris is 43 degrees, then the latitude of the observer is 43 degrees.
How are the altitude of polaris and latitude of an observer related?
angle it makes with respect to horizon is equal to observers latitude. i.e. Philadelphia latitude 40 degrees so Polaris 40 degrees above horizon
What does the earth have that allows the latitude of an observer on earth's surface to be determined by measuring altitude of Polaris?
Axial tilt.spherical shape
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.
How does the altitude of Polaris change with latitude?
the altitude of polaris is same as the latitude of your location assuming that you are in the northern hemisphere
If an observer on earth measures the altitude of polaris and finds it to be 0 degrees where is the observer?
At the Equator.
How to calculate Polaris?
Find your latitude and that is the altitude of Polaris in the sky.
What is the altitude or polaris in utica?
43 degrees because the altitude of polaris is equal to the latitude of utica.
How do you find the angle of the altitude of Polaris?
The angle of the altitude of Polaris is equal to the observer's latitude. However, this is only true if you are in the Northern Hemisphere. For example, at the North Pole it is directly overhead and at the equator it is on the horizon and at 45 degrees North it is 45 degrees above you.
What is The altitude if Polaris measured by an observer atcthe tropic of cancer?
23.5
What is the altitude of polaris above the northern horizon for observer a?
90 degrees
