What is the altitude of Polaris in the northern hemisphere?

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! :)


How to calculate Polaris?

Find your latitude and that is the altitude of Polaris in the sky.


What happens to the altitude of Polaris as you travel north?

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.


What is altitude of polaris at equator?

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.


What is the latitude of an observer if the altitude of polaris is 43 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.

What is the altitude of Polaris seen from earth's equator?

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.


What location will the highest altitude of the star Polaris be observed?

If you are at the North Pole, you'll see the star Polaris near the zenit (altitude almost 90 degrees).


What would be the altitude of Polaris the North star for an observer located at 64oN latitude?

The altitude of polaris for an observer is always the same as your latitude so it would be 64oN
