Near the zenith, i.e., the highest point in the sky.
What is the angle between the northern horizon and the North star Polaris if your latitude is 75 degrees north?
The North star will be 75 degrees above the horizon. Whatever degree you are at latitude, the North star will be the same degrees up. So at the north pole (90 degrees north), the star will be at the zenith (straight up). While at the equator (0 degrees north) the star will be at the horizon.

Why when you stand in the arctic north star could be seen and other stars?
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.
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.

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.
Where would be if the Polaris is seen at the Zenith?
You would be pretty darn close to the north pole. _______________________ Specifically, you would be within about 40 miles of the north pole. Polaris is about 2/3 of a degree away from being directly above the north pole.
