What is the defference between latitude and altitude?
latitude is how north or south a place is from the equator. altitude is how high you are from earth's surface
How do you determine the altitude at which the celestial equator cuts the meridian?
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.
Why do you measure latitude and altitude?
for math
How do the latitude and altitude of Sofia Bulgaria and Tirana Albania compare?
Albania is at higher altitude
How does altitude mimic latitude in climate?
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.

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
If you measure polaris at an altitude of 60 degrees where are you on earth?
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.
What is the altitude and latitude of the Nile River?
The Nile River is very long, so it covers a huge range of altitude and latitude.
Why do you measure latitude and altitude?

Which city would have warmer climate one at 20north or one at 40 south?
Latitude is not the only determinant. Altitude also makes a difference.
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 do the latitude and altitude of Sofia Bulgaria and Tirana Albania compare?
Albania is at higher altitude
Does altitude and latitude affect the desert?
Yes it does. The higher the altitude, the cooler the temperature in general.
Can you use longitude in a question?
What is the difference between longitude and latitude? Given it's longitude and latitude, can you locate the area?
