By using Pythagoras' theorem: hypotenuse^2 minus base^2 = altitude^2
half of base times altitude.

Find your latitude and that is the altitude of Polaris in the sky.
43 degrees because the altitude of polaris is equal to the latitude of utica.
the altitude of polaris is same as the latitude of your location assuming that you are 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! :)

no
The angle of the altitude of Polaris is equal to the observer's latitude. However, this is only true if you are in the Northern Hemisphere. For example, at the North Pole it is directly overhead and at the equator it is on the horizon and at 45 degrees North it is 45 degrees above you.
The altitude of polaris for an observer is always the same as your latitude so it would be 64oN
If you are at the North Pole, you'll see the star Polaris near the zenit (altitude almost 90 degrees).
The altitude doesn't depend much on whether the night is clear.If you live in the northern hemisphere, the altitude of Polaris above the horizon will APPROXIMATELY be equal to your latitude. If you live in the southern hemisphere, Polaris will be BELOW the horizon, as many degrees as you are south of the equator.
43 degrees
