For northern hemisphere observers, which celestial object would be above the horizon for the greatest
amount of time: one that is on the celestial equator, one that is 30° above the celestial equator, one that is
70° above the celestial equator, or one that is 40" below the celestial equator? Which one would be above
the horizon the greatest amount of time for southern hemisphere observers? Explain your answer.

Answer:

Explanation:

For a person at about 20° North latitude, an object 70° above the celestial equator would never set. It's arc path would touch the horizon be never sink below it. Observers north of 20° see it all night. Observers south of 20° an object 70° above the celestial equator would spend the greatest amount of time above the horizon.

For southern hemisphere observers, the object 40" below the celestial equator will spend the most time above the horizon. Nearly 12 hours per day. Did you mean 40°? 40 seconds is very close to the equator itself. However, the result is the same.
