    zenith distance = 39 degree

    Explanation:

    given data

    declination of star = - 13.00º

    latitude = 26.00º N

    to find out

    distance in degrees between the star and zenith

    solution

    we know the formula that is

    latitude = star declination + its zenith distance ... 1

    and

    zenith distance = latitude - star declination

    zenith distance = 26 - (-13)

    zenith distance = 26 + 13

    zenith distance = 39 degree
