The basic rule of thumb is that if your latitude and the star's declination are less than 75 degrees apart, the star will be visible for at least part of the year.
Why 75 degrees and not 90 degrees? Well, on a theoretical spherical world without any atmospheric distortions, that would be correct. But the Earth isn't spherical; it has these bumps called "mountains", and a thick atmosphere that obscures low-elevation stars, and it can be worse if there is any light pollution on the horizon. (This is one of the reasons why astronomical observatories are generally built on mountain tops away from city lights.) Against a dark sky and a sea horizon, you would probably be safe calculating to an 85 degree difference, but only if it were a bright star.
I live near Sacramento, CA, at about 38N. So any star in the northern half of the sky is certainly visible. Going by my 75 degree rule, I ought to be able to see stars that are as far south as 37S declination, which you can look up in the Nautical Almanac or online. (See the link below, and look for the "Stars" column in the center column for declinations.)
So, I ought to be able to see the star Fomalhaut at 29.S, but not Alpha Centauri at 61S. However, from my house I would not be able to see Fomalhaut - because the city lights and tall trees to the south would probably block my view. If I really wanted to see Fomalhaut, I'd need to drive down into the farmlands south of town where I would have an unobstructed view.

That's determined mainly by what time you're outside looking, and secondarily by the season of the year.
The International Space Station is only visible in a given place every few weeks and the times vary. Sometimes it is harder to see, like if it is passing in daylight. Lots of websites will give you information on where it is and if it is passing your area. Heavens Above is one such site.
The photosphere is the visible layer of the sun (or any other star). Light energy and photons and other solar radiation are given off and escape the sun from the photosphere. Photo=light.
That would depend on whether the given speed is in km/hr or miles/hr or m/s etc.
A circumpolar staris a star that, as viewed from a given latitude on Earth, never sets.
Yeahh. You always do latitude, then longitude. =)
-- There is no such latitude as '105 degrees'. The greatest possible latitude is 90 degrees, whether it's north or south. -- No place on Earth has two different latitudes. -- When you give the latitude of a place, you must also reveal whether that latitude is a north or south latitude. Otherwise, even though you think that you've given the latitude, we don't even know the latitude of the place. -- In order to describe a unique location, you must also give its longitude.
latitude, longitude, altitude, and velocity vector. OOPS, that was 4 wasn't it?
It does not matter whether you look at the lines of latitude or longitude first. Usually coordinates are written latitude, then longitude. Good luck!

Lots of constellations are visible during the winter months. About half of the constellations are above the horizon, and therefore usually visible, at any given moment. What constellations are visible would also depend on whether you live north or south of the equator (this affects the definition of "winter"), on the specific month, and the time of night.

Meteors enter Earth's atmosphere every day. Whether one will be visible in your location on a given date is impossible to know.
