Elevation is a measure of how high something is on the earth, starting at sea level. Latitude is a measure of a particular area on the earth's surface. Latitude is a location and elevation is height.
latitude is how north or south a place is from the equator. altitude is how high you are from earth's surface
The altitude at which the celestial equator intersects your local meridian is the complementof your latitude, i.e. the difference between your latitude and 90 degrees.On the equator: Your latitude is zero. (90 - 0) = 90. Celestial equator passes overhead.At the pole: Your latitude is 90. (90 - 90) = 0. Celestial equator coincides with the horizon.In New Orleans, Louisiana, or Durban, South Africa: Your latitude is 30. (90 - 30) = 60.Celestial equator intersects local meridian at 60 degrees above the horizon.

Albania is at higher altitude
Altitude affects climate by influencing temperature and precipitation patterns similarly to how latitude does. As altitude increases, temperatures usually decrease, leading to cooler climates at higher elevations. This creates temperature variations that are similar to those seen at different latitudes on Earth. Additionally, higher altitudes can also affect air pressure, wind patterns, and humidity levels, further contributing to the resemblance between altitude and latitude in climate.

the altitude of polaris is same as the latitude of your location assuming that you are in the northern hemisphere
If Polaris appears 60° above the northern horizon, then you are pretty near 60° north latitude. If you're on the equator ... 0° north latitude ... then Polaris is on the horizon ... 0° altitude. If you're at the north pole ... 90° north latitude ... then Polaris is over your head ... 90° altitude. The altitude above the northern horizon at which Polaris appears is nearly identical to your north latitude. ================================================= The difference (error) between Polaris and the real North Celestial Pole is about 0.7 degree. Not good enough for precise navigation or surveying, but just fine for directions when you're hiking.
The Nile River is very long, so it covers a huge range of altitude and latitude.
for math
Latitude is not the only determinant. Altitude also makes a difference.
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.
Albania is at higher altitude
Yes it does. The higher the altitude, the cooler the temperature in general.
What is the difference between longitude and latitude? Given it's longitude and latitude, can you locate the area?
