How do you find the altitude of Polaris with a east longitude of 149 degrees and a south latitude of 35 degrees?
The altitude of Polaris is roughly equal to your north latitude. Your longitude has no effect on it.At 35 degrees south latitude, the altituide of Polaris is negative 35 degrees. In other words,it's 35 degrees below the point on the horizon due north of you, and you can't see it.
What is the altitude of the sun above the northern horizion at noon in Perth Australia on the summer solstice?
Perth is at 32 degrees south and on the summer solstice the Sun's declination is 23½ degrees south. Therefore the Sun is 32-23½ degrees or 8½ degrees from the zenith, that is 81½ degrees above the horizon.
What are the angle of the sunś rays in summer for latittude 50?
On the Summer Solstice, June 21, the Sun is at about 23.5 degrees north. If you are at 50 degrees north, then at noon ("Local Apparent Noon", when the Sun reaches its highest point in the sky) on June 21, the Sun will be at an altitude of 66.5 degrees above the southern horizon.
Is the sun considered to be low in the sky when it is 56 degrees above the horizon?
No, 56 degrees above the horizon isn't "low". "Low in the sky" is less than 20 degrees elevation or so.
What is the altitude of the sun above the southern horizon at noon on March 21 in Las Vegas NV?

Altitude is defined as the distance in degrees of a star below the horizon.?
false
Altitude is defined as the distance in degrees of a star below the horizon?
Actually, altitude is the height of an object above a specific reference point, usually the observer's horizon. It is measured in degrees, with 0 degrees being right on the horizon and 90 degrees directly overhead.
The altitude of an object in the sky is it angular distance of?
The altitude of an object in the sky is the angular distance of the object above the observer's horizon. It is measured in degrees or radians from the horizon to the object.
Can you define altitude of a celestial body?
Altitude of a celestial body is the angular distance between the horizon and the body when viewed from a specific location on Earth. It is measured in degrees and ranges from 0° at the horizon to 90° at the zenith, directly overhead.
What is the altitude of the horizon in degrees?
The altitude of the horizon is 0 degrees. This is because the horizon is considered to be at eye level, so it is equivalent to the observer's horizontal line of sight.
What is the altitude of polaris if you are at an angle of 66.5 degrees from the Horizon?
66.5 degrees
What is at zero degrees altitude?
At zero degrees altitude, you would be at ground level or sea level. This position marks the horizon line where the sky meets the Earth.
Why is the altitude of the sun measured in degrees above the horizon - rather than in feet and meters like aircraft?
The altitude of aircraft is measured above the ground, not above the horizon, and it's a distance. The altitude of the sun is not measured above the ground, and it's not a distance. If it were, it would always be some number near 93 million miles. The altitude of the sun is the angle that an observer sees between his horizon and the sun, and it's different for different observers in different places.
What is the altitude of polaris above the northern horizon for observer a?
90 degrees
How do you use altitude in a sentence referring to astronomy?
The star is at an altitude of 15 degrees above the horizon at midnight.
What are the altitude and azimuth of a star halfway between the horizon and zenith to the due east?
An object seen halfway between the horizon and the zenith has an altitude of 45 degrees.An object seen due east of the observer has an azimuth of 90 degrees.
What are the altitude and azimuth of a star that is now setting due west?
The point on the horizon that is due west has an altitude of zero and an azimuth of 270 degrees.
