When viewed from the equator (0 degrees latitude), Polaris lies on the northern horizon. As an observer moves northward--say, to Houston, Tex. (30 degrees latitude)-- Polaris is located 30 degrees above the northern horizon.
Answer:
Geographers can describe the location of a place in one of two ways: absolute and relative. Both are descriptives of where a geographic location is.
Absolute location describes the location of a place based on a fixed point on earth. The most common way is to identify the location using coordinates such as latitude and longitude. Lines of longitude and latitude crisscross the earth. Latitude is used to mark the north-south position of a location on the Earth’s surface and ranges from 0 degrees at the equator to 90 degrees at the North and South Poles. There are 180 degrees of latitude and the distance between each degree of latitude is roughly 69 miles (111 km).
Polar.
The polar regions are cold year round because of the chill, polar air has a low capacity to evaporate water vapor in the air. The sun angle is fairly low throughout the year in polar areas. A significant amount of solar radiation that does reach the polar surface is reflected back into space.
Hope this helpsss!!
