Jamestown
At which New york State location will an observer most likely measure the altitude of Polaris as aproximately 42 degrees?
Jamestown
What is the altitude of polaris above the northern horizon for observer a?
90 degrees
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.
At which new york location would an observer measure the highest altitude of polaris?
Plattesburg;)
In Pennsylvania what could be the approximate lacation of an observer if he measured the altitude of Polaris to be 40 degrees?
Pittsburgh is about 40° north.

The altitude of polaris for an observer is always the same as your latitude so it would be 64oN
What could be the approximate location of an observer if he measured the altitude of Polaris to be 41 degrees above the horizon?

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.
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
To an observer in Buffalo NY the North Star Polaris is always located above the northern horizon at an altitude of approximately?
43 degrees
