That's very possible. It simply means that in order to find it, you face southeast,

and then look straight ahead and some angle above the horizon.

Viewed from the north or south pole, every star in your sky will have an azimuth of

135 degrees once every day. (But first you'd have to decide on a reference direction

to designate as zero azimuth, since 'southeast' doesn't exist at the poles.)

The distance of a star in degrees on the horizon as measured from true north?

The distance of a star on the horizon, measured in degrees, is called its azimuth. Azimuth is the angle measured clockwise from true north to the star's position in the sky. It can range from 0° (north) to 360° (back to north).


What is the distance of a star in degrees on the horizon as measured from the true north?

That's the star's "azimuth".

How is the azimuth of a star measured?

The azimuth of a star is measured as the horizontal angle from a reference point, typically measured in degrees clockwise from north. It is often determined using a compass or an azimuth circle in astronomy.


What are the altitude and azimuth of a star that is now setting due west?

The altitude of a star that is setting due west is 0 degrees, as it is on the horizon. The azimuth would be 270 degrees if we consider 0 degrees as north and increase in a clockwise direction.


If a star's azimuth is 90 degrees and its altitude is 45 degrees where is this star in the sky?

If a star's azimuth is 90 degrees, it is located directly east on the horizon. An altitude of 45 degrees means that the star is positioned halfway up in the sky, forming a right angle with the horizon. Therefore, this star would be visible in the eastern sky at an angle that is halfway between the horizon and the zenith.


What is the azimuth and altitude of the star Betelgeuse?

As of 2021, Betelgeuse has an azimuth of around 225 degrees and an altitude of about 27 degrees when observed from the northern hemisphere. These values will change throughout the night and over the course of the year due to the Earth's rotation and orbit.


Where in the sky would a star with an azimuth of 180 degrees and an altitude of 20 degrees be found?

A star with an azimuth of 180 degrees would be due south, and an altitude of 20 degrees would place it 20 degrees above the horizon. So, the star would be in the southern part of the sky, 20 degrees above the horizon.


How do you convert magnetic azimuth to grid azimuth?

To convert a magnetic azimuth to grid azimuth, subtract G-M angle.” If you have a magnetic azimuth of 270 degrees, and the G-M angle is 8 degrees, your grid azimuth will be 262 degrees.


What are the altitude and azimuth of a star halfway between the horizon and zenith to the due east?

An object seen halfway between the horizon and the zenith has an altitude of 45 degrees.An object seen due east of the observer has an azimuth of 90 degrees.


What direction is being traveled is you are bearing 140?

Azimuth 140 degrees (true) is 40 degrees east of south, or pretty close to southeast.(Southeast is exactly 135 degrees true.)
