Circumpolar constellations orbit what?
Beautiful question !! Circumpolar stars and constellations are stars and constellations the "go around the pole" = Circum (circle) polar (the pole) The North Star is called "Polaris" because it's directly above Earth's North Pole - in other words, if you went to the North Pole, "polaris" would be directly over your head. Because of this, all of the stars appear to pivot around Polaris as Earth rotates. Now I don't know where you live, but if you live in the United States, Polaris would NOT be overhead - it would be lower in the sky but still in the North. The lower on the globe you live, the lower Polaris appears in the sky. So, the stars and constellations that spin around Polaris but DON'T SET, are called circumpolar stars and constellations.
