Without precise data: Longitude, latitude, time, date it's impossible to answer.
The star closest to the zenith depends on your location and the current time, as the location of stars in the sky changes throughout the night and with your position on Earth. The star that is currently at the zenith will be the one directly overhead in your local sky.
The brightest stars in the Cancer constellation are Al Tarf (Beta Cancri) and Acubens (Alpha Cancri). These two stars are the most prominent in the constellation and can be easily spotted in the night sky.
The azimuth of Jupiter is constantly changing as the planet moves across the sky. To determine the current azimuth of Jupiter at your location, you can use a star-gazing app or website that provides real-time sky positions of celestial objects based on your coordinates.
The position of Betelgeuse in the sky is a function of the date and your location. I recommend the open-source planetarium program "Stellarium", which will tell you, for any location and date you specify, the location of any star or planet in the sky.
A star chart is a map of the night sky that shows the positions of stars, constellations, and other celestial objects. A star finder, also known as a planisphere, is a hand-held device that helps you identify stars and constellations in the night sky based on your location and the time of year. They are useful tools for stargazing and amateur astronomers.
A star's altitude is the angle measured vertically from the horizon to the star's position in the sky. It indicates how high or low the star appears in the sky from a specific location on Earth. The altitude of a star changes as it progresses across the sky due to Earth's rotation.

All the stars appear to move in the night sky, because the Earth is spinning. But for ONE star, the movement is so small that you can't see it without a camera. This star is Polaris, the north pole star. On a long time-exposure photograph, you can see Polaris making a TINY circle in the sky above the north pole.
That's a star that is less than one degree of the sky's north pole - that is, it is almost in the direction of Earth's axis of rotation. As a result, while the Earth spins, the North Star stays almost exactly in the same direction.
Sirius also known as the dog star is the brightest star in the sky.
Another Star in the Sky was created in 1994.
The brightest star in the sky at any time is the sun.The brightest star in the night sky is Sirius, in the constellation Canis Major.
