is it true to say a star is at its highest altitude when it is transitting?
if not, is there anything where you can be sure the star is at its highest altitude, such as if it is at a specific right ascension or hour angle or something?Quick question, is this statement about a star true?
Yes, by definition.Quick question, is this statement about a star true?
Yes, the altitude will be highest for any star (or planet or anything else) the moment that it is transiting. Prior to that it is rising (increasing in altitude), and after that it is setting (decreasing in altitude).
