Question

Observers in the southern hemisphere use the North Star (Polaris) to determine their latitude.

A) True
B) False

Answer 1

Observers in the southern hemisphere do not use the North Star (Polaris) to determine their latitude.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is False. Observers in the southern hemisphere do not use the North Star (Polaris) to determine their latitude. The North Star is visible in the northern hemisphere and its altitude above the horizon is equal to the observer's latitude. In the southern hemisphere, there is no bright star comparable to Polaris near the south celestial pole, so it cannot be used to determine latitude.
