It appears stationary in the night sky, due to the fact that it lined up almost directly over the North Pole. Because of this it can be used to find true north, which is a very useful thing when sailing at night and all other points of reference are gone, such as landmarks or the sun.

If you are in Binghamton at the moment, 7:49 pm, 10/14 Polaris is at 41 degrees 57 minutes 21 seconds. I have 42 degrees 5 minutes as the north latiude of Binghamton. If you can move to 42 degrees 4 minutes, you will have an altitude for Polaris of almost exactly 42 degrees. Yes, Polaris does move a little; it is not perfectly in line with the earth's pole.

Polaris, also known as the North Star or Pole Star, is a prominent star in the night sky that appears almost stationary as viewed from the Earth's Northern Hemisphere. It is located very close to the celestial North Pole, which is the point in the sky directly above the Earth's geographic North Pole.

Because of its proximity to the celestial North Pole, Polaris serves as a useful navigational tool. If you were to extend a line from the Earth's North Pole into the sky, it would point very close to Polaris. This makes Polaris an important reference point for navigation and orientation, especially for travelers and navigators in the Northern Hemisphere.

For centuries, sailors, explorers, and travelers have used Polaris to help them determine their northward direction. Its relatively fixed position in the sky makes it a reliable guide for finding the direction of true north, which is important for navigation with a compass or even basic orientation when observing the night sky.

Polaris is a close neighbor of our solar system, located only about 430 light years away, in

a direction very close to the direction in which the earth's north pole is currently pointing.

It can be seen in the sky directly north of any observer, at an angle above the northern

horizon equal to the observer's north latitude.

That will depend on where in the world you are starting from and what methods of transport you are using to get there. From most parts of the world, and with the proper transport, you could do it within two days.

Polaris is a star, and it doesn't revolve around any planets. It is possible that other planets revolve around Polaris, but so far I'm not aware that anyone has looked.

Polaris always sits within about 1/2 degree from the point in the sky that's the same

angle above the northern horizon as your latitude.

For example, if you're standing at the north pole, the point is directly over your head,

and if you're anywhere on the equator, the point is on the horizon directly north of you.

Closer to overhead.

Yes, you can see Polaris all year... it's the North Star.
