Do you see polaris at the same angular altitude in buffalo ny and in Albany ny?

Answer 1

Yes, Polaris, or the North Star, is located nearly directly above the North Pole, which means its angular altitude is roughly equal to the observer's latitude. Since Buffalo, NY, and Albany, NY, are both located in the northern United States with relatively close latitudes, the angle at which Polaris appears in the sky would be similar in both locations. However, there may be slight differences in altitude due to the exact latitude of each city, but they would be minimal.
