If you are in the northern hemisphere, then you can see it all year round, so you can see it in winter.
With the help of uras major we can locate the pole star. To locate the pole star at the end of ursa major. Whe it is visible in summer and imagine the line in north direction. It will led us to see the pole star.
The Pole star
The great bear or Ursa Major can be seen in the northern hemisphere on most dark and clear nights. In northern Europe it never sets and can be seen under the Pole Star in autumn and winter. Nearer the equator it can be seen better in the summer when it is above the Pole Star.
Anywhere in the northern hemisphere.
The Pole Star appears stationary in the night sky because it lies almost directly above the Earth's North Pole. As the Earth rotates on its axis, the North Pole always points in the same direction towards the Pole Star. This makes the Pole Star visible every night, regardless of the Earth's revolution around the Sun.
Not quite. The North Star, Polaris, is about six-tenths of a degree away from being directly above the North Pole. Considering that this happened completely by chance, the coincidence is very handy.
Polaris, also known as the north star or pole star.
The elevation of Polaris (the North Star) above the Northern horizon is almostequal to the North latitude of the place where you are when you see it.That means that when you stand on the Equator, the North Star is exactlyON the Northern horizon, and if you stand anywhere South of the Equator,the North Star is always BELOW the horizon.But . . .Everybody in the Southern hemisphere CAN see the SOUTH pole of the sky,which nobody in the Northern hemisphere can ever see.Sadly, there's no bright star anywhere near the South pole of the sky,to mark it the way Polaris marks the sky's North pole for us.
Pole star WHEN DIRECTION
The brightest star among the other stars in the night sky is called pole star.
No. The north star, Polaris is one particular star almost directly above the North Pole.
North star is the polar star, not the pole star.The North Star is the pole star; it is diredtly above the North pole and is called Polaris. A polar star is a star in close proximity to the polar region such as Sigma Octantis, the Southern star which is close to but not directly over the South pole.
