That's the point in the sky called the "Vernal Equinox" ... the point where the sun
appears to cross the celestial equator on its way north, on March 21 each year.

A star that is located 30 north of the celestial equator has?
'Declination' of +30
Are the stars located with the respect to the celestial sphere on the surface of the sphere?
No, because there is no such thing as the celestial sphere. So there is no inner surface of a celestial sphere.
If you were located on the Earth's equator and were observing the nighttime sky you would find the North Celestial Pole lying at on your?
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.
Where is the constellation Taurus located in the sky?
The Taurus constellation is located in the northern hemisphere sky during the winter months and is in the NQ1 Quadrant with a 19 degree declination. It is close to Aries.

Does a star that is located 30 degrees north of the celestial equator have 30 degrees declination?
Yes. "Declination" on the celestial coordinate system is the counterpart of "latitude" on the terrestrial coordinate system. Positive and negative declination correspond respectively to north and south latitude.
A star that is located 30 north of the celestial equator has?
'Declination' of +30
Is The south celestial pole is located at a declination of -90 degrees?
The Celestial Poles are the infinite extension of the North and South Poles from the Earth into space. The North Star or Polaris, is within 1 degree of the North Celestial Pole. There is no equivalent star for the South Celestial Pole.
Where in the celestial sphere is Capricorn located?
The coordinates of Capricornus in the celestial sphere are: Right Ascension 20h 06m 46.4871s - 21h 59m 04.8693s and Declination −8.4043999°- −27.6914144°.
Where is Canopus located?
Canopus is located in the constellation Carina in the southern celestial hemisphere. It is the second brightest star in the night sky after Sirius.
When is the sun located at 6 hours RA -23.5 degrees declination?
winter solstice
What are the coordinates of the star Polaris?
In the celestial coordinate system Polaris is located at the following coordinates: Right Ascension: 02 Hours 48.2 Minutes (measured from 0-24 Hour format) Declination: +89 Degrees 19 Minutes (measured from +90 to -90 Degree format)
Where would the earth be located in a model of celestial sphere?
The celestial sphere has the Earth at the centre and all the objects in the sky situated on the sphere at infinite distance. Positions of the objects are described by two coordinates, which could be azimuth and elevation, or, in geocentric coordinates, declination and hour-angle.
Where is the celestial seasonings headquarters located?
Boulder Colorado is Where the Celestial Seasonings headquarters located?
What is the angle of Polaris above Fairbanks Alaska?
Fairbanks is located at latitude 64.8 degrees north, so the north celestial pole is always 64.8 degrees above the horizon. Polaris itself is presently about 0.7 degrees from the celestial pole, so its altitude above the horizon will vary between 64.1 and 65.5 degrees during the course of a sidereal day.
What is the longitude and latitude of Orion constellation?
"Latitude" and "longitude" are the coordinates used to measure the positions of points on the surface of the earth, referenced to the Equator and Prime Meridian ... both of those are also imaginary marks on the earth's surface, and they turn with the earth. Objects in the sky are located with a similar coordinate system, consisting of Right Ascension, measured east from the Vernal Equinox, and Declination, measured north/south from the Celestial Equator. That system "turns" with the sky. The entire system of celestial, coordinates appears to make a complete rotation around the entire system of terrestrial coordinates, every day. The constellation of Orion is centered at about 15H 30M Right Ascension and about -20 degrees Declination on the celestial coordinate system. That location remains fixed over the latitude of 20 degrees south on the earth, but it passes over every longitude on earth, every day.
Where is the declination diagram located on a map?
