How many degrees above the horizon is the north star from longitude 39 degrees 53 ft and 49 inches north and latitude 76 degrees 9 ft 50 inches west at 5AM?

The "North Celestial Pole" of the sky is always due north of you, and at the same angle
above your horizon as whatever your north latitude is. It doesn't move, and the north star
is always within about 1/3 of a degree from that point.
Your longitude makes no difference at all.
And neither does the time of day.
And feet and inches have no place in angle measure.
And latitude is north or south and longitude is east or west.

What is the diagonal length if the height is 36.5 inches and your angle is 3 degrees?
There is insufficient information for us to answer this question. Please edit the question to include more context or relevant information. There is not enough information which angle is 3 degrees, for example.

Are the lines of latitude measured in inches degrees or hours?
Degrees, Minutes and Seconds of arc. Same as longitude.
Are the lines of longitude and latitude measured in inches degrees hours?
The lines are never measured. They're only markers. Latitude and longitude are angles, that describe the locations of points on the surface of a sphere. They're expressed in units of angle measure, typically in decimal degrees, or degrees, minutes, and seconds.

Is latitude given in degrees North and south or east and west What about longitude?
Latitude is measured and stated in degrees north or south of the equator. Longitude is measured and stated in degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian. If you give me numbers that are accurately measured and clearly stated, I can hit that exact spot, within a few inches, anywhere on the earth.
Is there a way to find the Latitude and Longitude of a place quickly and easily?
ANSWERThe quickest and easiest way to find the Latitude and Longitude of something is to go to "GOOGLE EARTH".The Latitude and Longitude of wherever the cursor' arrow is pointing on the screen is continuously shown on the horizontal strip at the bottom of the page.{For example, the Latitude and Longitude of the palm tree in the front of my grandmother's house is37 [Degrees] 49' [Minutes] 47.27'' [Seconds] , and Longitude is 145 Degrees 05' 42.48''.)It is quite precise and can be used to find the exact latitude and longitude of something down to TWO INCHES! [eg my survey marks]_____________________________________________Most smartphones also have a GPS function builtin, and when enabled, you can read your current position fairly accurately.
How many miles are in a degree?
Degrees of latitude and longitude can be further subdivided into minutes and seconds: there are 60 minutes (') per degree, and 60 seconds (") per minute. For example, a coordinate might be written 65° 32' 15". Degrees can also be expressed as decimals: 65.5375, degrees and decimal minutes: 65° 32.25', or even degrees, minutes, and decimal seconds: 65° 32' 15.275". All these notations allow us to locate places on the Earth quite precisely - to within inches. A degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles, and a minute of latitude is approximately 1.15 miles. A second of latitude is approximately 0.02 miles, or just over 100 feet. A degree of longitude varies in size. At the equator, it is approximately 69 miles, the same size as a degree of latitude. The size gradually decreases to zero as the meridians converge at the poles. At a latitude of 45 degrees, a degree of longitude is approximately 49 miles. Because a degree of longitude varies in size, minutes and seconds of longitude also vary, decreasing in size towards the poles.
How many minutes is there between lines of longitude and latidude?
That's like asking "How many inches is there between the marks on a ruler ?" That depends on the ruler. It may be marked in 32nds of an inch, 16ths of an inch, 8ths of an inch, 4ths of an inch, half-inches, or whole inches. There is no standard set of 'lines' of latitude or longitude. Some maps or globes have a line printed every 30 degrees, some every 15 degrees, some every 10 degrees, and some have no lines at all. The mapping software I use can print a line every 0.033 minute if I need it, but that would be 324,000 lines of latitude between the north and south poles, and I wouldn't be able to see the places under the lines. There are 360 degrees of longitude around the whole Earth, and 180 degrees of latitude between the poles. You're welcome to draw as few or as many lines as you're comfortable with. There are 60 minutes in each degree.
What is the difference between latitude and longitude?
latitude is straight and longitude is long.
How many degrees difference is there between each line of latitude and longitude shown on the globes?
Some globes have lines printed every 15 degrees, others have lines printed every 20 degrees, or every 30 degrees, or every 10 degrees, and some globes have no lines printed on them at all. There's no standard set of lines. A line can be drawn at any longitude you want, and a line can be drawn at any latitude you want. There is mapping software that can print lines separated by 2 seconds of arc if I want them. That's 324,000 lines of latitude and 648,000 lines of longitude. Your question is a lot like asking "How many inches difference is there between each mark of length shown on the ruler ?". The answer, of course, is that it depends on the ruler, they're not all the same, and there's no official standard set of marks. Each degree of latitude (measuring north or south) equals 60 nautical miles, so one minute of latitude equals 1 NM. At the equator, each degree of longitude (measuring east/west) is also equal to 60NM. However, the longitude lines converge as you move north or south, and the further north or south you go, the closer together they are. You can calculate the change, which is proportional to the cosine of your latitude. So at the equator, one minute of latitude equals one mile, while at latitude 45 degrees north or south, one minute of longitude equals 0.707 NM. A hundred yards south of the north pole, each step east or west is a half degrees of longitude!
Do latitude lines touch?
Lines of latitude (except 90 degrees, the poles) circle the planet, as the equator does. Each line includes points within planes angled with respect to the equatorial plane, and in a plane parallel to it. No two lines of latitude can intersect.
In the middle east what is 20 degrees N 50 degrees E?
That point is in southern Saudi Arabia, roughly 390 miles southeast of Riyadh. And by the way . . . once you give the latitude and longitude, that's enough information to pin the point down to within a few inches anywhere on the surface of the earth. No additional hints are required.
