Yes. Two thousand years ago, the current Polaris was not the North Star. By the end of the 21st Century it will not be above the North Pole.
the altitude of polaris is same as the latitude of your location assuming that you are in the northern hemisphere
43 degrees because the altitude of polaris is equal to the latitude of utica.
The altitude of Polaris in the northern hemisphere is the same as the latitude at that point on Earth. For example, if you are at 40˚N, then the altitude of Polaris would be 40.Hope I answered your question! :)
Find your latitude and that is the altitude of Polaris in the sky.
As you travel northward, the altitude of Polaris, or the North Star, increases. This is because Polaris is positioned almost directly above the North Pole, so at the North Pole, it is located directly overhead at an altitude of 90 degrees. Conversely, as you move south, the altitude of Polaris decreases.
The altitude of Polaris at the equator is 0 degrees. This means that Polaris is directly on the horizon and not visible at all from the equator. Polaris can only be seen in the northern hemisphere at latitudes above 23.5 degrees.
If the altitude of Polaris is 43 degrees above the northern horizon, then the observer is located somewhere within roughly 1/2 degree of 43 degrees north latitude.

At the Earth's equator, the altitude of Polaris (the North Star) is approximately 0 degrees. This means that Polaris is on the horizon when viewed from the equator, as it is positioned nearly directly above the North Pole. As one moves northward, the altitude of Polaris increases, reaching 90 degrees at the North Pole.
If you are at the North Pole, you'll see the star Polaris near the zenit (altitude almost 90 degrees).
The altitude of polaris for an observer is always the same as your latitude so it would be 64oN
