The coordinates 38 degrees longitude and 19 degrees latitude point to a location in the Mediterranean Sea, near the coast of Greece. This area does not correspond to a specific star but rather to a geographic location on Earth. If you're looking for a star in the night sky that can be observed from there, prominent stars like Sirius or Vega may be visible, depending on the time of year.
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.
The North Star, also known as Polaris, is located at a declination of approximately +89 degrees 15 minutes and a right ascension of around 2 hours 31 minutes. These coordinates correspond to a position near the north celestial pole, making Polaris a useful navigational aid for determining north direction in the northern hemisphere.
A star's position is measured in Right Ascension (Ra) and Declination (Dec), which is stated in very small incriments such as arc seconds. Constellations cover too much area and have broader designations. Leo is located at 11 hours Ra and 15 degrees Dec., while the brightest star in it, Regulus is located at 10hours, 08 minutes, 22.3 seconds Ra, and 11 degrees, 58 arcminutes, 02 arcseconds. An arcsecond is 1/3600th of a degreee....pretty small. Here is a bit more on the subject. http://liftoff.msfc.nasa.gov/academy/universe/RADEC.HTML
Polaris, also known as the North Star, is located at a latitude of approximately 89.3 degrees north. However, if you're referring to a latitude of 42 degrees, that would be significantly south of Polaris, which is positioned close to the North Pole. Latitude 42 degrees is found in various regions, including parts of the United States and Europe.
Yes. "Declination" on the celestial coordinate system is the counterpart of "latitude" on the terrestrial coordinate system. Positive and negative declination correspond respectively to north and south latitude.
The latitude and longitude coordinates are not typically used to locate constellations in the night sky. Instead, Sagittarius can be found in the Southern Hemisphere, specifically near the coordinates of approximately -25 degrees latitude and 0 degrees longitude. Remember, constellations are best located using star maps or astronomy apps.

Longitude of every star, leaving the ecliptic latitude unchanged.(:
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.
Celestial coordinates. -- The star's latitude on the celestial sphere is the same as the Earth latitude that it seems to follow on its way aroujnd the sky. On the celestial sphere, the latitude is called "declination", and is expressed in degrees. -- The star's longitude on the celestial sphere is its angle, measured westward, from the point in the sky called the Vernal Equinox ... the point where the sun appears to cross the celestial equator in March. On the celestial sphere, the star's longitude is called "Right Ascension", and it's expressed in hours. That certainly seems confusing, but an "hour of Right Ascension" just means 15 degrees of celestial longitude. So, as the sky turns, the point directly over your head moves through the stars by 1 hour of Right Ascension every hour.
Indicating the position of a celestial object is similar to latitude latitude and longitude. But it is called right ascension and declination.

The "North Celestial Pole" of the sky is always due north of you, and at the same angle above your horizon as whatever your north latitude is. It doesn't move, and the north star is always within about 1/3 of a degree from that point. Your longitude makes no difference at all. And neither does the time of day. And feet and inches have no place in angle measure. And latitude is north or south and longitude is east or west.
Polaris, also known as the North Star, is located at a latitude of approximately 89.3 degrees north.
