If an observer on earth views Polaris on the horizon where is the observer located?

If an observer on Earth sees Polaris on the horizon, they are located at the equator. Polaris, also known as the North Star, is positioned nearly directly above the North Pole, so it is only visible at higher latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere. At the equator, Polaris would appear to be at the horizon, indicating the observer's latitude is 0 degrees.
