Why is the earth tilted at the north star?
It is mere coincidence that Earth's axis is aligned with Polaris. There are about 5,000 stars visible to the naked eye, so it is not all that unlikely.
What constellations are visible from Earth?
All of them are. The constellations were all invented by human beings, on Earth. None were invented that can't be seen from Earth.
Do all places on earth have day at the same times?
No.
The constellation that contains the polestar?
The pole star, Polaris, is at the tip of the handle of the Little Dipper (Ursa Minor).
Why do all stars in the northern hemisphere appear to revolve around Polaris?
That is because Polaris is vertically above the North Pole, so it's in line with the Earth's axis and it always stays in the same place in the sky as seen from any given place. As the Earth rotates everything else appears to move round it.

Can you see moon now from Europe?
The moon is visible from all places on Earth.
What appears to revolve around Polaris due to earth's rotation?
Due to the vast distance between the earth and polaris, the earths axis of rotation essentially lines up with polaris at all times, so when the stars are visible, and viewed from the north pole, the earths rotation causes the stars to appear to rotate around polaris.
What times was the moon visible on September 7 2009?
That depends a lot on where you live! The Moon is not visible from all places on Earth at the same time.
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 earth visible in morning or evening?
Earth is visible all the time to every human being.
Why does polaris stay fixed all night?
It's an illusion caused by Polaris being (almost) in line with the Earth's axis of rotation.
Why is polaris unique?
Polaris is a very bright star (in fact, one of the brightest of all the stars visible in the skies above Earth) simply because of its location. Being much closer to Earth than most other stars, it looms more largely in the sky; thus, observers on Earth's surface see more of it, thereby enabling the star to share more of its light with those same observers.
Why can you see some stars all the time and not others?
It depends on where you are, if you are in the northern hemisphere (the same applies for the southen hemisphere) then due to he earth being on a tilt then stars rise and set behind the horizon all except the stars closest to Polaris (north star) because of where Polaris is in relation to the earths tilt, it happens to be above the north pole and always visible.
What galaxy is the Polaris star in?
No, Polaris is a star in the constellation Ursa Minor. It is also known as the North Star.
What constellations are visible from Earth?
All of them are. The constellations were all invented by human beings, on Earth. None were invented that can't be seen from Earth.
