🔍 Key Concepts

• Earth coordinates vs. celestial coordinates (latitude vs. declination) • Meaning of colatitude (90° minus latitude) and what it’s measured from • How celestial pole / celestial equator angles are defined (e.g., 90° − declination, 90° − altitude)

💭 Think About

• In the Earth system, colatitude is measured from the geographic pole; in the celestial system, what angle is measured from the celestial pole rather than the celestial equator? • Which of the options is defined as 90° minus another fundamental coordinate (like latitude, altitude, or declination), and which one parallels 90° − latitude most closely? • Match these pairs: latitude ↔ declination, altitude ↔ something, then decide which ‘co‑’ quantity matches ‘colatitude’ in how it’s defined and from what point it’s measured.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on: colatitude = 90° − latitude and is measured from the pole, not the equator. • Check which option is defined as 90° − declination (measured from the celestial pole) versus which is 90° − altitude (measured from the zenith). • Eliminate any term that is clearly tied to the observer’s local position (zenith/horizon) rather than to the celestial pole/equator.
