The most similar country in latitude is Denmark, though Latvia comes in at a close second.

Scotland also shares latitudes with Finland, Norway, Sweden, Estonia, Lithuania, Russia, Belarus, England, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Germany, and Poland.

The southernmost point of Scotland at approximately 54° 37' 59.49178" N[1] Mean Low Water Springs, is in latitude approximately 8.250 kilometres or 5.126 miles north of the southernmost point of Denmark and Scandinavia / Nordic Countries at approximately 54° 33' 32.7" N.[2]

A large majority of Scotland's area is further north than the southernmost point of Sweden.

The centre of Edinburgh (55° 57' 00" N) is in latitude, approximately 30.494 kilometres or 18.948 miles north of the centre of Copenhagen (55° 40' 34" N), and approximately 21.624 kilometres or 13.436 miles north of the centre of Moscow (55° 45' 20.83" N).

In latitude the northernmost point of mainland Scotland at approximately 58° 40' 19.64405" N[1] Mean High Water Springs (high spring tides), is approximately 79.485 kilometres or 49.389 miles further north, than the southernmost point of Norway at 57° 57' 30.6353" N[2].

The Shetland Islands share latitudes with southern Finland, and southern Greenland. Though Greenland is not technically part of Europe, it is linked politically.

Polaris latitude is 42 degrees what is the latitude?

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.


What is the latitude of point E to the nearest minute?

To determine the latitude of point E to the nearest minute, you would need to provide the specific coordinates or location of point E. Latitude is measured in degrees and minutes, with one degree equal to 60 minutes. Please provide the necessary information to calculate or identify the latitude.

What is the relationship between a particular latitude and the angle of Polaris above the horizon at that latitude?

The angle of Polaris above the northern horizon is very nearly equal to your north latitude, within about 1/3 of a degree. So it's over your head when you stand at the north pole, it sits nominally on your north horizon when you stand anywhere on the equator, and if you're south of the equator, you can never see it at all.
