Theoretically, if you were anywhere along the earth's equator you would see both celestial poles right on the horizons due north and due south. Whether, if you actually tried this, you would be able to see them is of course questionable, but in theory you should be able to.
I am not exactly sure considering I asked the question. Sorry I could not help. Check later maybe someone will put a good answer later. From the Shadow of Light I suppose celestial could be used in the sense of "celestial being" one who would do no harm, and also considered "divine / without impurities". I hope this helps but its just off the top of my head :)

∙ 13y agoDuring that trip, the north star would always be directly north of you in the sky,
but its height above the horizon would keep changing. At the equator, it would
appear right on your horizon. As you traveled farther north, the star would appear
higher off the northern horizon, and when you reached the north pole, it would be
directly over your head.

below the horizon. In other words, when you try to look at Polaris from there, part
of the earth is in your way.

∙ 13y agoNo. Well, theoretically you could, from a position at the equator, but in practice you can't see anything below about 2 degrees above the horizon. This is because of the thickness and haze in the atmosphere.

Overhead? Just like anywhere else on earth the sun would seem to change position as the seasons change. In this case it would be confined somewhere within 23 degrees of directly over head at any time of the year. As opposed to either pole - where the sun is almost always near the horizon as seen from an observer there.

A) the tilt of earth on its axis
B) Revolution of earth around the Sun
C) Rotation of Earth on its axis
D) revolution of the moon around earth
E) none of the above

∙ 14y agoIf you're on the equator, then you probably can't see Polaris at all. From that location,
Polaris can never be more than about 2/3 of a degree above the northern horizon.

∙ 14y agonorth... if you can find the big dipper, then the two rightmost stars make a line that points directly to it

What is the altitude of the north celestial pole if You live at a latitude of 28 degrees North?
The asterism called the "Big Dipper" (which is the central part of the constellation named "Ursa Major") has two fairly prominent stars which act as a pointer to the north star Polaris. Polaris is a relatively dim and undistinguished star whose positioning almost directly above the north pole is very conveniently located in the sky.

How did world war 2 affect South Africa?
World War 2 affected South Africa in a significant manner especially in terms of the politics of the country. This affected the neutral stand that Hertzog had advocated for in South Africa.
What does Polaris stand for?
Polaris stands for the pole star. since it is located directly above the north pole.
What would you see if Polaris exploded today?
You would see very little, unless you could stand very still for some 434 years - that's the time light takes to travel from Polaris to Sol.

Where on the earth do you stand to be in the center of the earth's rotation?
Stand at the South Pole, and look down at the ground beneath your feet.
Why can you stand on the earths surface but not the Moon's surface?
You can stand on the moon surface if you can get there
Why is Polaris at its highest latitude in the Arctic Circle?
The Earthg's north pole points very close to Polaris in the sky. So Polaris is directly over your head when you stand at the north pole, it's on your horizon when you stand on the equator, and it's somewhere between your horizon and the point directly over your head when you stand somewhere between the north pole and the equator.
What is the relationship between a particular latitude and the angle of Polaris above the horizon at that latitude?
The angle of Polaris above the northern horizon is very nearly equal to your north latitude, within about 1/3 of a degree. So it's over your head when you stand at the north pole, it sits nominally on your north horizon when you stand anywhere on the equator, and if you're south of the equator, you can never see it at all.
What is earths name mean?
the earths name is the underground what we stand on and is also a planet. hope this helps!
Why when you stand in the arctic north star could be seen and other stars?
Polaris, otherwise known as the pole star or the north star, is very close to being straight up from the north pole. If you were standing right at the north pole, Polaris would be almost exactly at your zenith-- straight up.
Can the southern hemisphere people see the pole star Why?
The elevation of Polaris (the North Star) above the Northern horizon is almostequal to the North latitude of the place where you are when you see it.That means that when you stand on the Equator, the North Star is exactlyON the Northern horizon, and if you stand anywhere South of the Equator,the North Star is always BELOW the horizon.But . . .Everybody in the Southern hemisphere CAN see the SOUTH pole of the sky,which nobody in the Northern hemisphere can ever see.Sadly, there's no bright star anywhere near the South pole of the sky,to mark it the way Polaris marks the sky's North pole for us.
