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.


What is the altitude of Polaris above the horizon at the tropic of Capricorn?

At the Tropic of Capricorn (approximately 23.5 degrees south latitude), Polaris, the North Star, is not visible and is located below the horizon. Polaris can only be seen in the Northern Hemisphere and its altitude above the horizon increases the further north you go.

What is the relationship between a particular latitude and the angle of Polaris above the horizon at that latitude?

The angle of Polaris above the northern horizon is very nearly equal to your north latitude, within about 1/3 of a degree. So it's over your head when you stand at the north pole, it sits nominally on your north horizon when you stand anywhere on the equator, and if you're south of the equator, you can never see it at all.

If you are at the equator, the Earth's celestial pole would be at the northern horizon. However, because of atmospheric haze, you would not be able to see Polaris. Below about 5 degrees north, Polaris is not visible.
