Is 55 degrees above the horizon very low in the sky - ie very close to the horizon?
DiamondXmas
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.

How many kilometers in 23 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
What direction is 153 degree azimuth?
Very close to south-southeast. Halfway between southeast and south is 157.5 degrees.
What is another name for very nearly?
very close
What would 250 degrees F represent?
121-133 degrees Celsius (very cool )
What is 181 degrees?
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.
What is the elevation?
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.
Where in the sky is the north star when viewed from the U.S.?
-- Direction: Due north.-- Altitude above the horizon: Same angle as your latitude. Very roughly 30-45 degrees in the US.
What is the angle of Polaris above the horizon at New Orleans Louisiana?
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.
At what latitude would an observer on earth find the altitude of polarris to be 37 degrees?
37 degrees north latitude
What city is close to 17 degrees south 149 degrees west?
Papeete, Tahiti would be very close.
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 range of declination makes stars appear circumpolar?
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.
What is the altitude of Polaris viewed from the north pole at latitude 90 degrees?
As seen from 25 degrees north latitude and ANY longitude, Polaris (the 'North Star', the 'Pole Star') appearswithin about 1/2 degree of due north and 25 degrees above the northern horizon, at any time.
What is 38 degrees north and 24 degrees east?
Athens, Greece would be very close.
What is the sine of 53 degrees?
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.
What is the angle of the celestial north pole above the horizon in Frankfurt Germany?
The altitude of the celestial north pole above the northern horizon is exactlythe observer's north latitude on the earth. The center of Frankfurt is very closeto 50° North latitude.
Is water at 98 degrees considered hot or boiling?
At 98 degrees Celsius, water is very close to boiling (100 degrees Celsius). For most purposes that's close enough.
