The altitude of Polaris measured by an observer at the Tropic of Cancer is 1) 15° 2) 23.5° 3) 66.5° 4) 90°
9966 [12]

Answer: 23.5\°

Explanation:

The Tropic of Cancer is one of the parallels (imaginary line around the Earth parallel to the equator) located in the northern hemisphere (currently its latitude is 23.43672\° \approx 23.5\°).

It is called "Cancer" because a long time ago, when the summer solstice occurred in the northern hemisphere (on June 20th or 21st), the Sun was in the constellation Cancer (the crab).

Now, if we were just in the North Pole, Polaris would by exactly over our heads (90\° over the horizon), but as we go south and find the Tropic of Cancer parallel, Polaris altitude will be approximately at an angle of 23.5\° over the horizon.

Hence, the altitude of Polaris measured by an observer at the Tropic of Cancer is 23.5\°.

Explain the reason for having an Equator and a Prime Meridian. How do these two lines help us to navigate our world?
EleoNora [17]

<span>The equator is 0 degree latitude. This imaginary line, which runs through parts of South America, Africa, and Asia, is officially the halfway point between the North Pole and the South Pole.</span>

<span>The prime meridian is 0 degrees longitude. This imaginary line runs through the United Kingdom, France, Spain, western Africa, and Antarctica.</span>

By using the equator and prime meridian, we can divide the world into four hemispheres, north, south, east, and west. For instance, the United States is in the Western Hemisphere (because it is west of the prime meridian) and also in the Northern Hemisphere (because it is north of the equator).

<span>These lines are merely for the identification of where things are on a map or a globe.</span>
