How does the angle of Polaris changes as the latitude increases?

Polaris' "elevation" ... its angle above your horizon ... is very close to

the north latitude of the place where you're located when you see it.

So, as your north latitide increases, the elevation of Polaris also increases.

And as you travel south, the elevation of Polaris decreases, until it's on

your northern horizon when you reach the equator.
