Part E
If you were standing on the equator, at 0° latitude, Polaris would appear to be directly on the horizon, with an
altitude of oº. If you were standing on the North Pole, at 90° latitude, Polaris would appear to be at zenith, or 90°
How does the altitude you determined for Polaris using hand measurements compare to the latitude of your
location, which you determined in Task 1?
