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.
It is like asking how many apple in 1kilogram rice !Degrees of Longitude or Latitude?longitude is about 111 km per degree at the equator and roughly zero at the poles latitude is always very close to 111 kmSo at the equator moving east or west north or south 23 degrees will travel very close to 2560 km
Very close to south-southeast. Halfway between southeast and south is 157.5 degrees.
very close
121-133 degrees Celsius (very cool )
180 degrees is a straight line. So 181 is one degree more than that. To picture it draw a line segment, place a dot in the center and that is 180 degrees. Not move the left hand ray (line) down just a very very little bit and that is 181 degrees.
The angle of Polaris above the horizon is equal to the latitude of the observer. This means that at the North Pole (90 degrees latitude), Polaris would be directly overhead (90 degrees above the horizon), and at the Equator (0 degrees latitude), Polaris would be on the horizon (0 degrees above the horizon).
The angle of the celestial north pole above the horizon in Frankfurt, Germany is approximately 50.1 degrees. This means that the North Star (Polaris) would appear about 50.1 degrees above the northern horizon in Frankfurt.
-- Direction: Due north.-- Altitude above the horizon: Same angle as your latitude. Very roughly 30-45 degrees in the US.
The angle of Polaris above the horizon is the same as the latitude from which you are trying to measure it. Hollywood Florida has a latitude of ~26 degrees, so Polaris is 26 degrees above the northern horizon.
Since Polaris is (more or less) directly over the celestial pole, for any point in the northern hemisiphere it will be a number of degrees above the (theoretical) horizon equivalent to the latitude of the location you're observing it from. Its altitude above the actual horizon may be different, due the fact that the Earth isn't a perfect sphere.
This depends on your latitude, the moon's phase, the moon's position with respect to the Earth and sun and the time of year. Where I live in north London, and at the time I write this (Monday, 22nd July 2013), the moon is very close to full and is about 23 degrees above the horizon.
Papeete, Tahiti would be very close.
Athens, Greece would be very close.
You can type sin(53 degrees) into Google and get your answer that way. Also, I happen to know that 53 degrees is very close to one of the angles of a 3,4,5 right triangle, so sin(53 degrees) is very close to 4/5.
37 degrees north latitude
Subtract your latitude from 90° and that will give the the decollation of circumpolar stars. In northern New Zealand, my latitude is 35°. If I subtract that from 90°, I get 55°. So stars with Declination great than 55° are circumpolar for me.
At 98 degrees Celsius, water is very close to boiling (100 degrees Celsius). For most purposes that's close enough.
