No, just as you cannot see the Earth turning from any other part of the Earth. Your view, relative to its size, is simply too small to be able to notice is rotation. However, one way you can get an idea of its motion in space is to spin around very quickly and become dizzy. Your body's loss of balance is actually because it is temporarily unable to adjust to the motion of the Earth.

∙ 11y agoThe South Pole cannot see anything, it is an area of dirt and ice.
If the question is asking how somebody standing on the South Pole can see Polaris, (the Northern Pole Star), the answer is that they cannot. Only people on the equator and further north can see Polaris. Anybody south of the equator is blocked from seeing Polaris by the curvature of the Earth. This presented numerous navigational difficulties when Explorers started going onto the open ocean south of the equator since they could no longer chart latitude using Polaris.

Is the star Betelgeuse almost directly over earth's north pole?
NO!!! Betelgeuse is seen in the constellation of Orion. It can easily be seen in the South Western Sky in the evening, during the months of January and February, It is no where near the Polaris (Pole Star).
What is the South Pole's real name?
There is a geographic North Pole and a magnetic North Pole. It's also in the Arctic Circle and the magnetic North Pole is stationed directly above the Earth's axis. The geographic North Pole has moved because it's basically a slab of ice that floats around.
Can you see the position of the north celetial pole from Argentina?
No. Argenrtina is entirely south of the equator, so the north celestial pole is not visible.
How does a compass know north from south?
If you see the big dipper the brightest star will be the north star
Why is the South Pole colder than the North Pole?
I think it is because its further away from the equator. Not really, The reason the South Pole is colder than the North Pole is because the South Pole sits on a landmass, while the North Pole sits on a Ocean, which keeps the region slightly warmer.
Why can't people in South Africa see the north star?
The North Star is almost directly over the north pole, so it cannot be seen south of the equator.
Can the southern hemisphere people see the pole star Why?
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.
Can you see polaris from south pole?
No... Polaris is another name for the North star - which is only visible in the Northern hemisphere.
What is the light at the North or South pole?
In the north, you can see aurora borealis and in the south you can see aurora australis.
Is the star Betelgeuse almost directly over earth's north pole?
NO!!! Betelgeuse is seen in the constellation of Orion. It can easily be seen in the South Western Sky in the evening, during the months of January and February, It is no where near the Polaris (Pole Star).
Where would you see the most circumpolar stars?
At the North Pole, and at the South Pole.
Why is the South Pole a continent and the North Pole not?
The South Pole has land, the North Pole does not!(To be more specific and accurate, the South Pole is not actually a continent, but is situated on the continent of Antarctica.)For more information, see 'Related links' below.
Could people in the southern hemisphere use the north star?
no, because since the earth is a sphere, you can not see around it ,and since the north pole points to the north star, you can not see the north star.
Is the north pole a natural magnet?
Yes, if you use a compass you you will see it points towards the north pole. Although the north pole is called the North pole, scientifically it is actually the south pole. This is because the Earth\'s magnetic field makes a compass point to the scientific south pole, geographically known as the North Pole
Where would you go on earth if you wanted to be able to see both the north celestial pole and the south celestial pole at the same time?
To see both the north celestial pole and the south celestial pole at the same time a person would need to standing at the equator. The atmospheric haze may interfere near the horizon may obstruct the view.
Why do people who live in Australia never see Polaris?
People who live in Australia can indeed see the star Polaris. They just have to visit the northern hemisphere to do it. The earth's axis has a reasonably stable orientation toward north/south; thanks to the stabilizing effect of the moon, it doesn't swing wildly out of place. So people viewing the sky from closer to the north pole can see the northern sky and not the southern sky. People viewing the sky from closer to the south pole can see the southern sky and not the northern. Polaris is very close to the point the north pole actually points to, which is why it is called 'Polaris', the pole star.
