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 :)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
north... if you can find the big dipper, then the two rightmost stars make a line that points directly to it
The asterism called the "Big Dipper" (which is the central part of the constellation named "Ursa Major") has two fairly prominent stars which act as a pointer to the north star Polaris. Polaris is a relatively dim and undistinguished star whose positioning almost directly above the north pole is very conveniently located in the sky.

World War 2 affected South Africa in a significant manner especially in terms of the politics of the country. This affected the neutral stand that Hertzog had advocated for in South Africa.
Polaris stands for the pole star. since it is located directly above the north pole.
You would see very little, unless you could stand very still for some 434 years - that's the time light takes to travel from Polaris to Sol.

Stand at the South Pole, and look down at the ground beneath your feet.
You can stand on the moon surface if you can get there
The Earthg's north pole points very close to Polaris in the sky. So Polaris is directly over your head when you stand at the north pole, it's on your horizon when you stand on the equator, and it's somewhere between your horizon and the point directly over your head when you stand somewhere between the north pole and the equator.
The angle of Polaris above the northern horizon is very nearly equal to your north latitude, within about 1/3 of a degree. So it's over your head when you stand at the north pole, it sits nominally on your north horizon when you stand anywhere on the equator, and if you're south of the equator, you can never see it at all.
the earths name is the underground what we stand on and is also a planet. hope this helps!
Polaris, otherwise known as the pole star or the north star, is very close to being straight up from the north pole. If you were standing right at the north pole, Polaris would be almost exactly at your zenith-- straight up.
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.
