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.
33 degrees perpendicular to the horizon
There is still light reflecting off the earth's atmosphere after sunset. Officially, twilight ends at 18 degrees below horizon, when it is completely dark, although at 15 degrees it is dark enough!
The Sun advances 15 degrees an hour; that is, 15 degrees every 60 minutes. You can base your calculations on that. If you live near the equator, after sunset the Sun will move directly downwards; if you live at higher latitudes, for example in Europe, the Sun moves at an angle, so while it will still move (for example) 15 degrees in an hour, it will not be 15 degrees below the horizon.
If the sun is 40 degrees above the horizon, a 5-ft person casts a shadow 5ft 11.5in long (rounded)

"Horizon" as an adverb typically means something is extending indefinitely or continually in a specified direction. For example, "the opportunities stretched horizonally before him."
The altitude of the horizon is 0 degrees. This is because the horizon is considered to be at eye level, so it is equivalent to the observer's horizontal line of sight.
Actually, altitude is the height of an object above a specific reference point, usually the observer's horizon. It is measured in degrees, with 0 degrees being right on the horizon and 90 degrees directly overhead.
66.5 degrees
The celestial pole that is 45 degrees above the horizon is located at a latitude of 45 degrees. This means that an observer at this location would see the celestial pole positioned halfway between the horizon and the zenith.
If the horizon is on a level line of sight, a vertical line directly above the observer forms an angle of 90 degrees. 55 degrees would be quite high, being above 45 degrees.
The angle between the northern horizon and the North star Polaris at a latitude of 75 degrees north is 15 degrees. Polaris is positioned 90 degrees above the northern horizon at the North Pole (90 - 75 = 15 degrees).
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.
No, 56 degrees above the horizon isn't "low". "Low in the sky" is less than 20 degrees elevation or so.
