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.

Where might you find the celestial sphere celestial equator and celestial poles?
These are imaginary locations in the sky. The "celestial sphere" is a blanket term for everything beyond the Earth. The celestial equator is the plane of the Earth's equator extended out into space. The "celestial poles" are extensions of the north pole and south pole into space. It's sometimes convenient to describe objects out in space with reference to terrestrial coordinates.
