The angle between the geographic and magnetic poles extends more towards the east, as you move to the north. The magnetic pole is actually near Greenland.

The angle of difference between the geographic and magnetic poles is called the declination How does the declination change as you move north from where you live?

Is it important to take the declination into account when you are closer to the poles?

Yes, it is important to take declination into account when closer to the poles because the magnetic field is more inclined there, leading to larger variations in declination. Failing to adjust for declination can result in errors in navigation and orientation.

Do circumpolar constellations move out of sight during the year?

No. "Circumpolar" means they remain above the horizon. The only way for that to change is if you travel somewhere else (further south, if you live north of the equator).


Does the declination of the North Celestial Pole change with location?

No. The declinations of the various stars are fixed, and don't vary over time. The declinations of objects within our solar system, such as the Sun, Moon and the planets, will vary as each of those objects move along in their own orbits around the Sun. And saying that "the declinations of stars don't change" isn't precisely correct, but they do not change within human lifetimes. Over the course of hundreds of years, these will vary slightly.


When Line of latitude run in a north south direction but are measured in what degrees?

No line of latitude is a north/south line. A move to the north or south is a change of latitude.


As an observer on a ship at sea at which latitude does the north star appear closest to the horizon?

I'm assuming that you mean "How far from the NCP is something whose declination is 50 degrees N?" In that case, the best way to visualize it is by looking at a globe of earth. The north pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. Something that's 50 degrees N latitude is therefore 40 degrees BELOW the north pole (the UK fits this description). Likewise, something with a declination of 50 degrees N is 40 degrees away from the NCP.


Can a 18-year-old legally move out without parental permission in North Carolina and live with another relative?

The state of North Carolina considers a person of 18 to be of legal age. They are able to move and live their life without the consent of a parent.


What directions do you move as you travel from one line of latitude to another?

A change of latitude may or may not include an east or west move,but it always involves a north or south move.


Can a teenager move out of their parents' house at the age of 16 in North Carolina?

A teenager's parents can give them permission to live elsewhere, but could demand that they move back home if they change their mind. The only way for a 16 year old to move out of their parents home and be permanently independent would be to become legally emancipated through the court.
