it does move
Is it true that Polaris does not seem to move as the earth rotates?
true
How does Polaris rule support the shape of the earth?
the degree of polaris on the horizon is your latitude. Shows the curvature of the earth. When the degree of polaris is 1 degree greater, you move the some distance if you move another degree. Shows how everything is equally distant from the center.
Why does polaris not move as the earth rotates?
It does but only a little. It is almost directly above the Earth's North Pole so that the axis of rotation points towards Polaris.
Is it true that Polaris does not seem to move as Earth rotates?
Yes, Polaris always seems to "hover" over the North Pole.
How many years does it take for the earth to move to a different position facing polaris?
about 25,000 years
Does polaris move as Earth rotates?
It appears to remain stationary above the North Pole and that is why it is important.
What places on earth is polaris seen on the horizon?
Where on Earth are you if Polaris is on your horizon?
When Polaris is not the main star will Earth be different and how?
No Earth will not be different, Polaris has no effect on the Earth whatsoever.
Does Polaris appear to move during the night?
Why does Polaris not seem to move during the night? 1 point BECAUSE IT IS LOCATED NEAR THE NORTH POLE BECAUSE IT IS FIXED IN THE SKY BECAUSE URSA MINOR DOES NOT MOVE BECAUSE IT REVOLVES AROUND THE SUN WITH EARTH
Does polaris move less than any other visible star in the sky?
Yes. Polaris (The Pole Star) Is very nearly overhead at the North Pole. As the Earth turns on it's axis all the other starts appear to move overhead in an arc. As Polaris is near the centre of rotation, it only appears to move in a small circle.
Is polaris the nearest star to the earth but not the brightest?
the sun is a star and it isthecloseststar to the earth, not Polaris
