What is the difference in declination angles between the north and south celestial poles?
The Earth orbits on its axis. It isn't a physical axis; there is no metal rod through the Earth, but we can calculate it pretty well. If you were to extend that imaginary axis straight out from the physical poles, this would point to the "celestial poles". Early astronomers thought of the sky as a solid crystal sphere, and all the stars were at the same very great distance away. We know now that isn't true; all the stars are at their own distances, all different. But we still sometimes speak of the "celestial sphere", and the celestial poles, and the celestial equator. This helps us to visualize where we are in the galaxy, and where all the stars are in relationship to each other.
Is the US closer to North Pole or south pole?
The US is completely in the northern hemisphere. Every place in the northern hemisphere is closer to the north pole than it is to the south pole.
From what direction is the north pole from the US?
South, every direction from the North Pole is south.
Do the stars circle daily around north or south celestial pole?
First of all, we need to recall that none of this motion is real. It appears to us as ifthe stars are circling in the sky, only because the Earth is spinning, carrying us alongwith it, and spinning the direction in which our eyes point, once a day.Unless you happen to be standing on the Earth's equator, you can only see one Celestialpole ... either the north one or the south one, corresponding to which of the Earth'shemisphere's you're standing in.It seems to me that the stars appear to circle bothCelestial poles. If you opena camera aimed at the night sky, and leave it open for a while, you always getnice circular arcs traced by the stars. No matter which Celestial pole is visiblein the picture, the arcs of the stars will appear centered at it.
Is North Pole in US?
No. The North Pole is in Antarctica. - uh uh. Antarctica is in the southern hempishere.
Which state in the US is close to the north pole?
The state that is closest to the north pole is simply the furthest north state which is Alaska.
Are more stars circumpolar at the North Pole or in the US?
The simple answer: "at the North Pole". A more detailed answer: ALL stars are "circumpolar" in the sense that they seem to rotate around points above the Earth's poles (called the "celestial poles"), as the Earth turns. But we use that word to mean stars that are close enough to the poles of the sky so that they don't rise or set at the observer's latitude. By that definition, the stars that are 'circumpolar' from any location are those that have "declinations" not less than 90 degrees minus your latitude. Declination is a measure of how far a star is from being above the Earth's equator. Polaris, the "pole star", has a declination of nearly 90 degrees, and is almost exactly above the Earth's North Pole. The greatest possible geographic latitude is 90 degrees, at either pole, so that's where the greatest possible amount of sky is 'circumpolar'. At the north pole, half of the entire sky is visible at any time the sky is clear, during the six months of "night". No star ever rises, and none ever sets. Each one just goes around and around the sky, parallel to the horizon and never moving higher or lower in the sky. And you never see anything that's in the OTHER half of the sky. At the other extreme ... for an observer standing on the Equator, nothing in the sky is circumpolar, and you can see every celestial object sooner or later.
What constellations are seen in the southern US the best?
You can see most constellations from there; except for a few that are so far south that they are constantly under the horizon. If you live "x" degrees north of the equator, then any stars in a region "x" degrees from the celestial south pole will always be under the horizon for you.
