The latitude of the North Star is always equal to the altitude of the viewer?
Yes, the altitude of the North Star is equal to the observer's latitude in the Northern Hemisphere. The North Star's position in the sky is directly above the Earth's North Pole, and as you move south from the North Pole, the angle of elevation of the North Star above the horizon decreases by an amount equal to your latitude.
How is the altitude of the North Celestial Pole above the northern horizon related to the observer's latitude?
The altitude of the North Celestial Pole above the northern horizon is equal to the observer's latitude. This means that the higher the observer's latitude, the higher the North Celestial Pole will appear in the sky. For example, an observer at a latitude of 45 degrees will see the North Celestial Pole 45 degrees above the northern horizon.

How is the altitude of the North Celestial Pole above the northern horizon related to the observer's latitude?
The altitude of the North Celestial Pole above the northern horizon is equal to the observer's latitude. This means that the higher the observer's latitude, the higher the North Celestial Pole will appear in the sky. For example, an observer at a latitude of 45 degrees will see the North Celestial Pole 45 degrees above the northern horizon.
