Our latitude in Shawnee is 35 degrees north, and we find Polaris 35 degrees above the northern horizon. Similarly, to sail west at a constant latitude Columbus kept the north star at a constant altitude above the horizon.
Polaris is the north star, being possitioned directly above the north pole it doesn't move from it's spot in the nigth sky, this can be used to both tell direction and time at â¦ nigth without a compass or a watch.4 people found this useful.olaris is the north star, being possitioned directly above the north pole it doesn't move from it's spot in the nigth sky, this can be used to both tell direction and time at â¦ nigth without a compass or a watch. 4 people found this useful.
