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.

What is the altitude of the sun above the northern horizon at noon in Jakarta Indonesia on the winter solstice(Assume the latitude of Jakarta is 6(Degrees south)?

At the time of the southern hemisphere's winter solstice, the sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer, which circles Earth at 23.44° north latitude. So at 6° south latitude the sun appears 29.44° from the zenith (a location's zenith is directly overhead). Since there are 90° between the zenith and the horizon, the angle for which you are looking is the difference between 90° and 29.44°, 60.56°.


Where would you go on earth to see a celestial pole at your zenith?

A person would have to visit the equator for the celestial equator to pass through your zenith or one would have to be at the south pole for the south celestial pole to be at your zenith. You would not see this, but you could note it.
