How do you find the angle of the altitude of Polaris?
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.
What is the latitude between the horizon and the north star if the angle is 39 degrees?
The answer depends on which angle is 39 degrees.
What is the difference between altitude angle bisector and median?
The altitude is the segment from an angle of a triangle to the side opposite of the angle which is intersected perpendicularly by the altitude., the angle bisector cuts an angle into two congruent angles, and a median forms two congruent line segments.
What kind of angle is 175 degrees?
An angle of 175 degrees is an obtuse angle
If an angle is obtuse then it has a measure of 120 degrees?
When an angle has a measure of 120 degrees, it is an obtuse angle. When an angle is an obtuse angle its measure is between 90 and 180 degrees. That is: 90 degrees < obtuse angle < 180 degrees.
How are the altitude of polaris and latitude of an observer related?
angle it makes with respect to horizon is equal to observers latitude. i.e. Philadelphia latitude 40 degrees so Polaris 40 degrees above horizon
How do you find the angle of the altitude of Polaris?
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.
How many degrees is the north star above the horizon in seattle?
Seattle's latitude is about 47.6 degrees North. So the altitude of Polaris above the northern horizon is always within about 1/3 degree of that angle as seen from there.
Is Altitude defined as the distance in degrees of a star below the horizon?
Almost . . ."Altitude" is the apparent angle of the object above the horizon.
What happens to the altitude of polaris as you move west?
The angle of Polaris above the northern horizon increases.
How do you measure latitude by polaris?
Polaris (or the North Star) is almost directly above the North pole. This means that when you stand on the north pole and look directly up, you will see Polaris. This also means that when you stand at the equator and look directly north, you will see Polaris on the horizon. You can not see Polaris from the Southern Hemisphere. The angle Polaris is above the horizon is equal to the degree latitude that you are standing on. Therefore at the equator, Polaris is 0 degrees above the horizon and at the north pole, Polaris is 90 degrees above the horizon.
What is the angle of Polaris above Fairbanks Alaska?
Fairbanks is located at latitude 64.8 degrees north, so the north celestial pole is always 64.8 degrees above the horizon. Polaris itself is presently about 0.7 degrees from the celestial pole, so its altitude above the horizon will vary between 64.1 and 65.5 degrees during the course of a sidereal day.
What is angle measured above the altitude?
Altitude is the angle measured above the horizon.
Altitude is the angle measured above the?
Altitude is the angle measured above the horizon.
If the angle between Polaris and the horizon is 40 degress what is your approximate latitude?
The latitude would also be approximately 40 degrees in this case.
An objects what is the angle between the object and the horizon?
altitude
At what latitude would an observer on earth find the altitude of polarris to be 37 degrees?
37 degrees north latitude
