What else can I help you with?
Where would the north star be located if you were in the north pole?
Less than a degree from the zenith.
Where is the north star if you live in the north pole?
Near the zenith, i.e., the highest point in the sky.
What is the imagenary point in the sky directly above an observer on Earth?
That's the observer's 'zenith'. Since it's referenced to the "observer's head", each observer has a different zenith.
If you were standing at the earths north pole which would be located in the zenith?
If you were standing at Earth's North Pole, the North Star, also known as Polaris, would be located directly in the zenith, or straight overhead. This is because Polaris is situated very close to the celestial north pole in the night sky.
What is the angle between the northern horizon and the North star Polaris if your latitude is 75 degrees north?
The North star will be 75 degrees above the horizon. Whatever degree you are at latitude, the North star will be the same degrees up. So at the north pole (90 degrees north), the star will be at the zenith (straight up). While at the equator (0 degrees north) the star will be at the horizon.
Where is the north star located in San Diego?
57.5 degrees north of your zenith.
Where would the north star be located if you were in the north pole?
Less than a degree from the zenith.
Star with a declination of 10 degrees passes through your zenith?
If you are at a location with a latitude of 10 degrees north, a star with a declination of 10 degrees would be located directly overhead, at your zenith. This means the star is in the same plane as your latitude, making it the highest point in the sky relative to your position.
Where is the north star if you live in the north pole?
Near the zenith, i.e., the highest point in the sky.
If I was standing at the Earth's North Pole what would be located at the Zenith?
If you're standing exactly on the north Pole, then during the six months when the sun never rises, Polaris ... the "Pole" star or "North" star ... makes a tiny circle directly over your head once a day, about 1/3 of a degree from the North Celestial Pole. Everything else in the sky circles the same point once a day, but in much larger circles.
What is the name of the fixed star that line up with the north pole of earth's axis?
It is called Zenith.
What is the imagenary point in the sky directly above an observer on Earth?
That's the observer's 'zenith'. Since it's referenced to the "observer's head", each observer has a different zenith.

Why when you stand in the arctic north star could be seen and other stars?
Polaris, otherwise known as the pole star or the north star, is very close to being straight up from the north pole. If you were standing right at the north pole, Polaris would be almost exactly at your zenith-- straight up.
What is the angle between the northern horizon and the North star Polaris if your latitude is 75 degrees north?
The North star will be 75 degrees above the horizon. Whatever degree you are at latitude, the North star will be the same degrees up. So at the north pole (90 degrees north), the star will be at the zenith (straight up). While at the equator (0 degrees north) the star will be at the horizon.
Which star will be closest to the zenith?
The star closest to the zenith depends on your location and the current time, as the location of stars in the sky changes throughout the night and with your position on Earth. The star that is currently at the zenith will be the one directly overhead in your local sky.
Is the Polaris always located at the zenith?
The 'zenith' is the point in the sky directly over your head. Every time you move to adifferent place, you have a different zenith. Also, technically, two people can't bothhave the same zenith, because two people can't stand in exactly the same place.The only places on Earth where Polaris can possibly be at your zenith are the pointson a little circle 47 miles all around the north Pole. If you pick a spot on that littlecircle and go stand there, then Polaris is located at your zenith once a day. If you'renot standing 47 miles from the north Pole, then Polaris can never be at your zenith.(That number of "47 miles" is changing. But it's changing so slowly that it'll stay closeto that number for the rest of the time that anybody on Earth today is still alive.)
