the degree of polaris on the horizon is your latitude. Shows the curvature of the earth. When the degree of polaris is 1 degree greater, you move the some distance if you move another degree. Shows how everything is equally distant from the center.
They are very nearly equal angles, within about 1/3 degree. (Note the accurate implication that Polaris is not visible from anywhere in the southern hemisphere.)
No, -19 degrees is not colder than -20 degrees.
Within about 1/3 degree of the point on your horizon due north of you. Most likely not visible to you.
Polaris is within 1/2 of one degree of the North Celestial Pole. If Hattiesburg, MS is at 31 degrees north, then the elevation of Polaris is about 59 degrees - ALL the time. Within 1/2 degree, at any rate.
The angle of Polaris above the horizon is the same as the latitude from which you are trying to measure it. Hollywood Florida has a latitude of ~26 degrees, so Polaris is 26 degrees above the northern horizon.
-13 degree Celsius = 8.6 degree Fahrenheit.
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.
yes it is.
This has a degree of 2.
Polaris Banks is 6' 1".
