Where on Earth so stars always circle the zenith and never rise and set?

Yes. Those that never set are called circumpolar stars. For example, if you live 50 degrees north of the equator, any star that is 50 degrees or less from the north pole of the sky will never set; any star that is 50 degrees or less from the south pole of the sky will never rise.

If I was standing at the Earth's North Pole what would be located at the Zenith?
If you're standing exactly on the north Pole, then during the six months when the sun never rises, Polaris ... the "Pole" star or "North" star ... makes a tiny circle directly over your head once a day, about 1/3 of a degree from the North Celestial Pole. Everything else in the sky circles the same point once a day, but in much larger circles.
How does the space shuttle orbit the earth?
The shuttle is always falling via gravity, it's just so far up that it never falls to earth,but goes around and around.
The Sun is never directly overhead at noon for an observer at what locateion?
The sun never reached the zenith in locations north of 23.5N or south of 23.5S (namely north of the Tropic of Cancer of south of the Tropic of Capricorn).
From what location on Earth is the The celestial equator not visible?
The north celestial pole is not visible from any point on Earth's surface south of the equator. This is always true. The north celestial pole is the point in the sky directly above the Earth's north pole. Even though the north celestial poles moves about in the sky, it remains invisible everywhere in the southern hemisphere. The north celestial pole moves around in a circle in the sky as the Earth's axis wobbles. Each wobble takes about 23 thousand years.
Can you see the earth if you are standing on the moon?
The moon always keeps the same "side" ... about half of its surface ... facing the earth.If you're standing anywhere on that side of the moon, the earth is always in the sky, (thoughit might not necessarily be visible, if, for example, there's a mountain in the way).If you're standing anywhere on the other side, the earth is never in the sky.
Does the sun reach zenith in New York state?
No, the zenith is never reached due to position of the sun and earth
Does a radius sometimes always or never connects the center of the circle with a point on the circle?
always.
Is the Polaris always located at the zenith?
No. It will only always be CLOSE to the zenith if you happen to be at the north pole. At other latitudes, for example if you live at 30° north latitude, it will be about 30° above the horizon (to the north), if you live at 50° north latitude, it will be about 50° above the horizon, etc.
Does a diamater sometimes always or never passes through the center of the circle?
Always
How many days will the sun pass through the zenith in a full year?
If you are located anywhere on earth that's more than 23.5 degrees from the equator, then the sun can never appear at your zenith. If you're anywhere within 23.5 degrees of the equator, then the sun will appear at your zenith, or very close to it, twice each year.
How many times did Columbus circle the earth?
he never fully circled around the equator of Earth
Why is it always daytime in Greenland?
it's is not always daytime. At surden times of the Summer, above the Arctic Circle, it is always daytime. Because the sun never sets. This have something to do with the rotation of the earth and the placement of the sun. and at surden times of the winter, it is always night time. Same explanation.
A line passing through the midpoint of a chord always sometimes or never passes through the center of the circle?
the answer is always
Does a diameter always sometimes or never passes through the center of the circle?
The diameter ALWAYS passes through the center of a circle. If it stopped at the center point, it would be a radius, and if it didn't do either, it would be chord.
How many time longer that the earth takes would the new planet take to circle the sun?
