a) Where on Earth do you have to be in order to see the north celestial pole directly overhead? Explain your answer.
b) What is the maximum possible angle of elevation of the Sun above the horizon at that location? Explain your answer.
c) On approximately what date can this maximum elevation be observed? Explain your answer.
Homework Answers
a) The north celestial pole is the imaginary point that is directly overhead of the north pole of the earth.
So, to view the north celestial pole directly overhead, we most be standing on the north pole of the earth.
b) The sun moves from 23.5 degree north to 23.5 degree south latitude and back in the span of a year.
So, the sun is closest to the north pole when it is at a latitude of 23.5 degrees north.
So, the altitude of the sun at the highest point as viewed from the north pole will be 23.5 degrees from the horizon.
c) The sun is at 23.5 degrees north on the day called summer solstice.
This day is on June 21
This is the day that is asked in the question.

Question 1: For today’s date (June 3rd), imagine that you are on Earth’s equator to answer the following questions. You don’t need to give precise numerical answers – rough altitude and azimuth are fine. In what direction do you look to see the north celestial pole? In what direction does the Sun rise for you this day? In what direction do you look to see the Sun at noon today?

01: You are on a windswept plain on the planet Earth but you know neither your position nor the date. There are no hills and you can see the horizon clearly. This allows you to time Laiss LipS the sunset accurately, but, unfortunately, your watch reads Greenwich Time. Take a straight pole and plant it exactly vertically in the ground. You have no meter- or yardstick but you assign arbitrarily 1 unit to the length of the pole above ground....

5. This may be the first calculation of the circumference of the earth ever made! It was done by Eratosthenes a Greek mathematician living in Egypt), in approximately 200 BC. One day, at midday, the sun shone directly down a well in the city of Syene (now Aswan, Egypt), so the sun was directly overhead. On the same day, at the same time, Eratosthenes measured that in the nearby city of Alexandria, a line pointed straight at the sun formed...
