If you stand at the Earth's South Pole could you see Polaris?

Answer 1

Theoretically, if you were anywhere along the earth's equator you would see both celestial poles right on the horizons due north and due south. Whether, if you actually tried this, you would be able to see them is of course questionable, but in theory you should be able to.
I am not exactly sure considering I asked the question. Sorry I could not help. Check later maybe someone will put a good answer later. From the Shadow of Light I suppose celestial could be used in the sense of "celestial being" one who would do no harm, and also considered "divine / without impurities". I hope this helps but its just off the top of my head :)

Answer 2

Somewhere south of the equator. But there isn't anything to see there; there are no visible stars directly above the south pole. The North Star, Polaris, is not quite directly above the north pole, but this is a matter of the sheerest coincidence.

Answer 3

During that trip, the north star would always be directly north of you in the sky,

but its height above the horizon would keep changing. At the equator, it would

appear right on your horizon. As you traveled farther north, the star would appear

higher off the northern horizon, and when you reached the north pole, it would be

directly over your head.

Answer 4

From anywhere south of the equator, the direct line from your eye to Polaris points

below the horizon. In other words, when you try to look at Polaris from there, part

of the earth is in your way.

Answer 5

No. Well, theoretically you could, from a position at the equator, but in practice you can't see anything below about 2 degrees above the horizon. This is because of the thickness and haze in the atmosphere.

Answer 6

Overhead? Just like anywhere else on earth the sun would seem to change position as the seasons change. In this case it would be confined somewhere within 23 degrees of directly over head at any time of the year. As opposed to either pole - where the sun is almost always near the horizon as seen from an observer there.

Answer 7

Name the motion that causes the seasons on Earth.

A) the tilt of earth on its axis
B) Revolution of earth around the Sun
C) Rotation of Earth on its axis
D) revolution of the moon around earth
E) none of the above

Answer 8

If you're on the equator, then you probably can't see Polaris at all. From that location,

Polaris can never be more than about 2/3 of a degree above the northern horizon.

Answer 9

north... if you can find the big dipper, then the two rightmost stars make a line that points directly to it

Answer 10

No. Polaris is in the Northern Hemisphere of stars.
