What causes the circumpolar stars to appear to move around polaris?
The apparent daily movement of the stars in the sky is a reflection of Earth's rotation. Earth rotates around its axis; as a reflection of this, the entire sky rotates around an "axis", which is simply the extension of Earth's axis. By chance, the star Polaris is almost exactly on the line of the Earth's axis, extended into space. So, as the Earth rotates the stars appear to rotate around Polaris. Circumpolar stars never go below the observer's horizon, so they just seem to go in circles around Polaris.
