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.
Where would polaris be at 41 degrees north latitude?
It would be 41 degrees above the horizon, directly north of you.
What is your location if the South celestial pole appears on your meridian at an altitude of 30 degrees in the south?
If there were a way to see the south celestial pole, and it was 40 degrees above the horizon, then you would be somewhere along the line of 40 degrees south latitude. Unfortunately, there is no star at or near the south celestial pole, so there is no way for you to see the south celestial pole and observe its elevation.
How is 90 degrees north latitude different from 90 degrees south latitude?
Since there is only 90 degrees on each hemisphere of the earth, north and south, the 90 degree north latitude would be north pole and 90 degrees south latitude is the south pole.
0 to 23 degrees north or south latitude is?
It would be the Tropic of Cancer and The Tropic of Capricorn if it was 25 degrees north and south latitude.

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 is 90 degrees north latitude differant from 90 degrees south latitude?
Since there is only 90 degrees on each hemisphere of the earth, north and south, the 90 degree north latitude would be north pole and 90 degrees south latitude is the south pole.
How is 90 degrees north latitude different from 90 degrees south latitude?
Since there is only 90 degrees on each hemisphere of the earth, north and south, the 90 degree north latitude would be north pole and 90 degrees south latitude is the south pole.
What is the angle of Polaris above the horizon at New Orleans Louisiana?
The angle of Polaris above the horizon is the same as the latitude from which you are trying to measure it. Hollywood Florida has a latitude of ~26 degrees, so Polaris is 26 degrees above the northern horizon.
0 to 23 degrees north or south latitude is?
It would be the Tropic of Cancer and The Tropic of Capricorn if it was 25 degrees north and south latitude.
How is 90 degrees north latitudes different from 90 degrees south latitude?
Since there is only 90 degrees on each hemisphere of the earth, north and south, the 90 degree north latitude would be north pole and 90 degrees south latitude is the south pole.
Is latitude 31 or 32 more northerly?
That will depend on your direction of latitude. If you meant 31 or 32 degrees north latitude, then 32 degrees north would be more northerly. However, if you meant 31 or 32 degrees south latitude, then 31 degrees south would be more northerly.
What line has a latitude of 23.5 degrees South?
That would be the "parallel of 23.5° south latitude". The Tropic of Capricorn is also not far from there.
What latitude would a man standing at the north pole be?
180° north longitude
