There is no standard degree that is always between true north and magnetic north. Depending on where your location is will their be a declination. Because true north is a location and magnetic north is a field that is at a constant slow move.

How do you find the angle of the altitude of Polaris?

The angle of the altitude of Polaris is equal to the observer's latitude. However, this is only true if you are in the Northern Hemisphere. For example, at the North Pole it is directly overhead and at the equator it is on the horizon and at 45 degrees North it is 45 degrees above you.


What is the true name for the North Star?

The true name for the North-Star is Polaris.


Is Polaris almost at plus 90 degrees?

Yes, Polaris is very close to being at the celestial pole, which is approximately plus 90 degrees declination in the sky. It is used as a navigational aid for celestial navigation and is a good guide for finding true north in the Northern Hemisphere.


Is it true that Polaris does not seem to move as Earth rotates?

Yes, Polaris always seems to "hover" over the North Pole.


Do Saturn and Earth both have Polaris as a pole star?

No because it's just a coincidence that the Earth's axis points to Polaris just now. In 13,000 years time Polaris will be 47 degrees from the true north point that it occupies today, so it will rise and set just like other stars.


How do you determine true north without a compass at night?

One method to determine true north without a compass at night is by using the stars. You can locate the North Star (Polaris) which is positioned close to true north. Draw an imaginary line from the North Star to the ground to find where true north lies.


How many degrees difference between true and magnetic north in san diego?

The magnetic declination in San Diego, California is approximately 12 degrees east, which means there is a 12 degree difference between true north and magnetic north in that area.


Latitude is the distance north or south of the equator is this true or false?

True. Latitude measures the distance north or south of the Equator, expressed in degrees. The Equator is designated as 0 degrees latitude, with lines of latitude extending north to 90 degrees N and south to 90 degrees S.


What is the direction of the 45 degrees magnetic declination?

A magnetic declination of 45 degrees can be either east or west, depending on the location. If it is 45 degrees east, it means that magnetic north is 45 degrees to the east of true north. If it is 45 degrees west, it means that magnetic north is 45 degrees to the west of true north.


Which country is nearest the north pole 40 degrees south 20 degrees north and 50 degrees north in latitude?

This may not be true, but I think Canada.


What star does the north pole point toward?

The North Pole points toward the North Star, also known as Polaris. This star sits almost directly above the Earth's true North Pole, making it a useful navigational tool for determining direction.


The Azimuth of the north star on February 26 2010?

The North Star (Polaris) is located within roughly 1/2 a degree from the north celestial pole. So in the course of every 24 hours, it executes one complete cycle between the limits of roughly-0.5 and +0.5 degrees from true north.
