Answer:
It is 52° below the celestial equator.
Explanation:
The declination is the angle in degrees measured north (+) or south (-) of the an imaginary line called the celestial equator.
The celestial equator is a projection of the earth's equator on the celestial sphere. imaginary
The star named Canopus has a declination of approximately –52°.
Since the angle is negative, this shows that it is south or below the celestial equator and at 52° south of the celestial equator.
Thus, the star named Caponus is 52° below the celestial equator.
