problem 6: (3% of assignment value) the image to the right depicts a meridian diagram centered on an observer looking up at the local sky. the cardinal directions north (n) and south (s) are labeled, for reference, and the pink concentric ovals indicate the observers horizon. six different positions in the sky are labeled with letters a - f. at which point in the image above is the north celestial pole visible at a latitude of 60° n? a b f d e c hints: 0% deduction per hint. hints remaining: 1 feedback: 0% deduction per feedback. grade summary deductions 0% potential 100% submissions attempt(s) remaining: 5 20% deduction per attempt detailed view

Explanation:

The altitude of the north - celestial pole above the northern horizon is equal to the observer's latitude. At a latitude of 60°N, the north - celestial pole will be 60° above the northern horizon. In the given meridian diagram, the point that represents the position of the north - celestial pole at a latitude of 60°N is the one that is 60° above the northern horizon (marked as N). Point F is the one that corresponds to this position.

Answer:

F
