The angle of the star Polaris above the northern horizon can be used to determine an observer's?
... lattitude.... lattitude.... lattitude.... lattitude.
Can polaris only be seen in the Northern Hemisphere while winter?
On any night of the year, Polaris can be seen from the northern hemisphere and cannot be seen from the southern one. (Assuming the sky is clear in the north.)
How does the altitude of Polaris change with latitude?
the altitude of polaris is same as the latitude of your location assuming that you are in the northern hemisphere
How many degrees is polaris from true north?
Oh, dude, Polaris is located about 0.7 degrees from true north. So, like, if you're lost in the wilderness and you see Polaris, just make sure you're looking in the right direction, or you might end up even more lost. But hey, who needs directions when you've got the North Star, am I right?
Is it true of false that the northern hemisphere experiences winter when earth is farthest from the sun?
No,it hits the southern hemisphere directly in the winter of the northern hemisphere. Otherwise it would be summertime in the northern hemisphere. -Monicalovesu
What is the altitude of polaris above the northern horizon for observer a?
90 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.
How are the altitude of polaris and latitude of an observer related?
The altitude of Polaris and the latitude of an observer are directly related. The altitude of Polaris in the sky is approximately equal to the observer's latitude in the Northern Hemisphere. The higher the latitude, the higher Polaris will appear in the sky.
The angle of the star Polaris above the northern horizon can be used to determine an observer's?
... lattitude.... lattitude.... lattitude.... lattitude.
In Pennsylvania what could be the approximate lacation of an observer if he measured the altitude of Polaris to be 40 degrees?
If an observer in Pennsylvania measures the altitude of Polaris to be 40 degrees, they could be approximately 40 degrees north of the equator, which would imply a latitude close to 40 degrees north. This is because the altitude of Polaris above the horizon is equal to the observer's latitude in the Northern Hemisphere.
What is polaris apparent magnitude?
The apparent magnitude od the main star in the Polaris system is 1.98
What is the connection between the altitude of polaris and the longitude of poughkeepsie ny?
No connection whatsoever. The altitude of Polaris as seen from anywherein the northern hemisphere is roughly equal to the observer's latitude, andis independent of longitude.
To an observer in Buffalo NY the North Star Polaris is always located above the northern horizon at an altitude of approximately?
43 degrees
If an observer on earth measures the altitude of polaris and finds it to be 0 degrees where is the observer?
At the Equator.
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
Where would Polaris appear to an observer at the equator?
On the horizon
What is the altitude of Polaris here in mamaroneck?
The altitude of Polaris, or the North Star, can be roughly estimated as equal to the latitude of the observer. Mamaroneck, New York, is situated at approximately 40.95° N latitude. Therefore, the altitude of Polaris from Mamaroneck would be about 40.95 degrees above the northern horizon.
