Relationship between Altitude and Latitude

[Starboy>9000]

If you are in the southern hemisphere in winter and the South Celestial Pole has an altitude of 20 degrees, what is your latitude on earth?

[Jim1138]

The celestial poles do not move much over the coarse of a year. If the celestial pole is 20 degrees above the horizon, you would be at a latitude of 20 degrees.

[Philosophaie]

sin(alt)=sin(Lat)*sin(delta)+cos(Lat)*cos(delta)*c os(HA)

where:

alt - altitude
delta - Declination
HA - Hour Angle
