If I point a sextant at the north star and read its elevation from the horizon, I will get my latitude, known and used for navigation for hundreds of years.
When sighted at the equator, it will be on the horizon, elevation 0, matches latitude on RE.
If the north star is 3100 mi over the north pole on FE, then the triangle says it is at an elevation of 26 degrees. On FE, seeing it on the horizon means it is on the surface of the earth at the north pole.
Does anyone have an FE explanation for this?
