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.
What is longitude?
Polaris is a star, not located on the surface of the Earth, so it doesn't have a longitude.
What latitude would a man standing at the north pole be?
180° north longitude
What is the longitude and latitude of the little dipper?
Longitude and latitude correspond to locations on the surface of the earth. The little dipper is in the sky. The world, itself, spins on an axis and rotates around the sun, there is no stationary latitude or longitude which corresponds to the little dipper.
As a ship crosses the prime meridian an observer on the ship measures the altitude to polaris is 60 degrees what is the ships location?
The Prime Meridian is by definition 0 degrees longitude. So that part is a given simply because you're at the Prime Meridian. Polaris is directly over the North axial pole. If you were at the equator, Polaris would be right at the horizon (zero degrees above the horizon). If you moved 10 degrees north, Polaris would appear above the horizon by the same amount. So if Polaris is 50 degrees above the horizon, you must be 50 degrees north of the equator (meaning you're at 50 degrees North latitude).

How do you find the altitude of Polaris with a east longitude of 149 degrees and a south latitude of 35 degrees?
The altitude of Polaris is roughly equal to your north latitude. Your longitude has no effect on it.At 35 degrees south latitude, the altituide of Polaris is negative 35 degrees. In other words,it's 35 degrees below the point on the horizon due north of you, and you can't see it.

Is Polaris A a Red Giant?
No. Polaris is a multiple star system. In the late 18th century it was resolved into two components, Polaris A and Polaris B. Later, Polaris A was resolved further into Polaris Aa and Polaris Ab. Neither Polaris Aa nor Polaris Ab are red giants. Aa is a supergiant and Ab is a dwarf; both of them are spectral class F ("yellow-white").

Who makes the polaris sportman 90 for polaris?
The machine is designed by Polaris and built by Aeon.
If you were lost at sea and needed to know your latitude where on earth would you not be able to tell?
You can always find your latitude and longitude by getting a 3-star celestial fix; as long as you have a sextant and an accurate timepiece.If you are looking for a one-star observation to determine your latitude, then you would need to be able to see Polaris, the north star. Polaris cannot be observed anywhere south of about 3 degrees north latitude. (Polaris is not EXACTLY above the North Pole, so in order to get an accurate reading of your longitude, you would still need a nautical almanac and a watch.)But with a watch, a sextant and a nautical almanac, you could do a "local apparent noon" observation of the Sun, and determine both your latitude and longitude quite precisely from one sighting.
