What would be the altitude of Polaris the North star for an observer located at 64oN latitude?
The altitude of polaris for an observer is always the same as your latitude so it would be 64oN
Where would Polaris appear to an observer at the equator?
On the horizon
What compass direction is the observer facing when viewing polaris?
You would face north.
What is the latitude of an observer if the altitude of polaris is 43 degrees?
If the altitude of Polaris is 43 degrees above the northern horizon, then the observer is located somewhere within roughly 1/2 degree of 43 degrees north latitude.
At which new york location would an observer measure the highest altitude of polaris?
Plattesburg;)
If an observer on earth measures the altitude of polaris and finds it to be 0 degrees where is the observer?
At the Equator.
In Pennsylvania what could be the approximate lacation of an observer if he measured the altitude of Polaris to be 40 degrees?
If an observer in Pennsylvania measures the altitude of Polaris to be 40 degrees, they could be approximately 40 degrees north of the equator, which would imply a latitude close to 40 degrees north. This is because the altitude of Polaris above the horizon is equal to the observer's latitude in the Northern Hemisphere.
How are the altitude of polaris and latitude of an observer related?
The altitude of Polaris and the latitude of an observer are directly related. The altitude of Polaris in the sky is approximately equal to the observer's latitude in the Northern Hemisphere. The higher the latitude, the higher Polaris will appear in the sky.
What does the earth have that allows the latitude of an observer on earth's surface to be determined by measuring altitude of Polaris?
The earth's axis of rotation is tilted relative to its orbit around the sun, causing Polaris to align with the earth's axis. When an observer measures the altitude of Polaris above the horizon, they can determine their latitude because Polaris' altitude corresponds to the observer's angular distance from the North Pole.
What does the apparent motion of Polaris from sunset to midnight for an observer in northern Canada look like?
Polaris does not appear to move.
What is The altitude if Polaris measured by an observer atcthe tropic of cancer?
23.5
What is the altitude of polaris above the northern horizon for observer a?
90 degrees
