What is the altitude of Polaris in the northern hemisphere?
The altitude of Polaris in the northern hemisphere is the same as the latitude at that point on Earth. For example, if you are at 40˚N, then the altitude of Polaris would be 40.Hope I answered your question! :)
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
At which new york location would an observer measure the highest altitude of polaris?
Plattesburg;)
Why would it be difficult to cook an egg to a hardboiled stage at the top of a mountain?
Because of the altitude.
At which location is the altitude of polaris approximately 42 degrees?
If you are in Binghamton at the moment, 7:49 pm, 10/14 Polaris is at 41 degrees 57 minutes 21 seconds. I have 42 degrees 5 minutes as the north latiude of Binghamton. If you can move to 42 degrees 4 minutes, you will have an altitude for Polaris of almost exactly 42 degrees. Yes, Polaris does move a little; it is not perfectly in line with the earth's pole.
Where would the air pressure be the greatest around a mountain?
Air pressure decrease with altitude thus the air pressure is the greatest at the mountain base.
How would the observed temperature be affected if distillation was performed on top of a mountain?
The boiling point temperature is lower at low pressure (altitude).
What is the altitude of Polaris if your latitude is 41 degrees south?
You would never see Polaris there because it would always be 41 degrees or more below the northern horizon. On the other hand you can see many fine stars and constellations that are never seen in North Europe or the north of the USA and Canada.
Does mass and weight change with altitude or elevation?
Mass does not change with changes in altitude or elevation. Weight on the other hand does change. However, on earth the change from sea level to the top of a mountain would be extremely small.
Why is it difficult to cook on mountainous areas?
It would be difficult to cook on a mountain due to its lack of resources. The higher the altitude, the lesser the resources such as fuel.
What happens to the altitude of polaris as you move due west from Mamaroneck to Chicago?
I have noticed that it does indeed. Polaris is definitely lower on the horizon in Southern California than it is in Northern Washington. By the time one reaches the north pole, the pole star should be directly overhead--day or night.
Would Polaris be overhead if you were at the South Pole?
No, Polaris would not be overhead if you were at the South Pole. The North Star -- Polaris -- is not visible from the Southern Hemisphere.
