When is Polaris directly over head?
Polaris is only directly overheat if you are at the north pole.
Why is Polaris at its highest latitude in the Arctic Circle?
The Earthg's north pole points very close to Polaris in the sky. So Polaris is directly over your head when you stand at the north pole, it's on your horizon when you stand on the equator, and it's somewhere between your horizon and the point directly over your head when you stand somewhere between the north pole and the equator.
Where would be if the Polaris is seen at the Zenith?
You would be pretty darn close to the north pole. _______________________ Specifically, you would be within about 40 miles of the north pole. Polaris is about 2/3 of a degree away from being directly above the north pole.
What is a North celestial pole?
The north celestial pole is a certain point in the sky, near a star called Polaris, around which all the stars appear to rotate. It's the point in the sky that's directly over your head when you stand at the Earth's north pole.
Circumpolar constellations orbit what?
Beautiful question !! Circumpolar stars and constellations are stars and constellations the "go around the pole" = Circum (circle) polar (the pole) The North Star is called "Polaris" because it's directly above Earth's North Pole - in other words, if you went to the North Pole, "polaris" would be directly over your head. Because of this, all of the stars appear to pivot around Polaris as Earth rotates. Now I don't know where you live, but if you live in the United States, Polaris would NOT be overhead - it would be lower in the sky but still in the North. The lower on the globe you live, the lower Polaris appears in the sky. So, the stars and constellations that spin around Polaris but DON'T SET, are called circumpolar stars and constellations.
What is the altitude of Polaris viewed from the north pole at latitude 90 degrees?
As seen from 25 degrees north latitude and ANY longitude, Polaris (the 'North Star', the 'Pole Star') appearswithin about 1/2 degree of due north and 25 degrees above the northern horizon, at any time.
Is polaris South in Australia?
No. Polaris is located almost directly over the north pole and so is never visible in the southern hemisphere. There is no corresponding star for the south pole.
How would the meridian appear if you are directly over the equator?
saa
When is Polaris directly overhead?
Polaris always sits within about 1/2 degree from the point in the sky that's the same angle above the northern horizon as your latitude. For example, if you're standing at the north pole, the point is directly over your head, and if you're anywhere on the equator, the point is on the horizon directly north of you.
Star directly over the North Pole?
The North Star, a.k.a. Polaris, is fairly close to that position (less than one degree).
How often does the sun shine directly over head at the equator?
Equinox
Why does the trident appear over Percy's head?
