If observing the sky from the northern hemisphere which direction would the stars appear to move that are near the north celestial?
When in the northern hemisphere, looking north toward the celestial "axis" or North Star (aka Polaris), stars acan be oberserved to move all directions. To the south of Polaris (looking "above" it), the stars and other things move East to West across the sky. To the north of Polaris (looking "below" it), the stars and other things move West to East across the sky. Both are true for short distances, because in fact, the direction it moves is actually in a smaller and smaller circle the closer the star appears to be to Polaris. With a camera that can take long exposures (10-20 minutes or even hours) this circular motion can easily be seen.
The constellation in which the Pointer Stars are located?
The question is vague. There are many stars called "pointer" stars. For example, two of the stars in Ursa Major lie along a line that passes very near Polaris. A completely different set of stars in Ursa Major form an arc that passes near Regulus. There are plenty of other such astronomical coincidences.
How does the Moon's motion relative to the stars compare the sun?
Polaris is almost exactly above the North Pole so other stars appear to rotate around it as the Earth rotates, around the pole, UNDER Polaris. Stars, except the trivial case of OUR sun, are immobile. The Earth rotates directly under Polaris, around the polar axis through both North and South poles.
What location will the highest altitude of the star Polaris be observed?
If you are at the North Pole, you'll see the star Polaris near the zenit (altitude almost 90 degrees).
Why does the north star appear to stay still in the night sky?
The NorthStar(Polaris) isthe star that never moves in the sky asEarth rotates.Actually, it does move a little bit, because it's notexactly over the North pole.
How do the stars appear to move near Polaris?
Polaris traces out a circle with a diameter of 1.5 degrees above the North Pole. Other nearby stars trace out larger circles.

Does Polaris appear to move during the night?
Why does Polaris not seem to move during the night? 1 point BECAUSE IT IS LOCATED NEAR THE NORTH POLE BECAUSE IT IS FIXED IN THE SKY BECAUSE URSA MINOR DOES NOT MOVE BECAUSE IT REVOLVES AROUND THE SUN WITH EARTH
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.
A bright star near the north pole?
There are no bright stars near the north pole. The star Polaris is only notable because everything else up there is even dimmer. Of the 58 stars commonly used in celestial navigation, Polaris is by far the dimmest, and except for the fact that it is almost aligned with the Earth's axis of rotation, nobody would care about it at all.
Stars near the north celestial pole appear to move?
counter-clockwise
What cause the north star to change between the stars vega polaris and thuban?
The Earth is like an enormous gyroscope, spinning in space. We think of gyroscopes as always pointing in the same direction, but all gyros wobble a little bit, with a motion called "precession". The Earth's precession causes the north pole to move VERY SLOWLY. The north pole of the Earth is currently pointed to the star Polaris, but it hasn't always been, and won't always be. The cycle is 25,800 years long.As the centuries pass, the Earth's precession will cause the north pole to slowly move away from Polaris, and in about 12,000 years will point somewhere near Vega. In another 14,000 years, the north pole will be pointed somewhere near Polaris again - except that Polaris itself is moving. In 26,000 years, Polaris will be about 5 degrees away from the pole.
Is Capricorn located near the Polaris?
No, it is not.

Where is the location of Cassiopeia?
It's in the North.... near Polaris.
What eleven letter constellation is near polaris?
None of them.
