Objective Question
For a circumpolar star, declination must be
Answer
( Option B)
more than colatitude
Solution
Circumpolar star is a star that never sets below the horizon for a given latitude.
Colatitude is the distance from the pole to the horizon.
For a star to never set, its distance from the pole must be smaller than the colatitude.
Therefore, its declination (height from the equator) must be more than the colatitude.
