The pole star or north star known as "polaris" can for the puposes of practical navigation be taken as 0.5 degrees. For sciences requiring greater precision eg Astronomy, consult websites of authorative bodies such as the National observatories of various countries such as the USNO. That is the United States Naval Observatory.
What else can I help you with?
At which location will the highest altitude of the star polaris be observsd?
Arctic crircle
What social studies word starts with an A?
Altitude, atlas, Antarctic Circle and Arctic Circle are geography terms. They begin with the letter A.
What is the altitude or polaris in utica?
43 degrees because the altitude of polaris is equal to the latitude of utica.
How does the altitude of Polaris change with latitude?
the altitude of polaris is same as the latitude of your location assuming that you are in the northern hemisphere
What is the altitude of Polaris in the northern hemisphere?
The altitude of Polaris in the northern hemisphere is the same as the latitude at that point on Earth. For example, if you are at 40˚N, then the altitude of Polaris would be 40.Hope I answered your question! :)
How to calculate Polaris?
Find your latitude and that is the altitude of Polaris in the sky.
In which city is polaris highest in the sky?
the north pole, but the closest city would be around the arctic circle, you'll have to find that on your own.
What happens to the altitude of Polaris as you travel north?
As you travel northward, the altitude of Polaris, or the North Star, increases. This is because Polaris is positioned almost directly above the North Pole, so at the North Pole, it is located directly overhead at an altitude of 90 degrees. Conversely, as you move south, the altitude of Polaris decreases.
What is altitude of polaris at equator?
The altitude of Polaris at the equator is 0 degrees. This means that Polaris is directly on the horizon and not visible at all from the equator. Polaris can only be seen in the northern hemisphere at latitudes above 23.5 degrees.
Is Iceland north of the Arctic Circle?
It is south of the Arctic circle.
If Polaris has an altitude of plus 65 degrees then what is your latitude?
If Polaris has an altitude of +65 degrees, it indicates that you are located at a latitude of 65 degrees North. This is because the altitude of Polaris directly corresponds to your northern latitude position. Therefore, if you observe Polaris at that angle, it means you are 65 degrees north of the equator.
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.
