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! :)
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.
The latitude of the observer is equal to the altitude of Polaris. Therefore, if the altitude of Polaris is 43 degrees, then the latitude of the observer is 43 degrees.
0 Degrees
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.
If you are at the North Pole, you'll see the star Polaris near the zenit (altitude almost 90 degrees).
The altitude of polaris for an observer is always the same as your latitude so it would be 64oN
The altitude of Polaris and the latitude of an observer are directly related. The altitude of Polaris in the sky is approximately equal to the observer's latitude in the Northern Hemisphere. The higher the latitude, the higher Polaris will appear in the sky.
