The North Star is close to the north pole of the sky - one of the centers of rotation - of the apparent rotation of the sky around us (the other is the south pole).
The movement of stars across the night sky, much like the movement of the sun across the day sky, is the result of the rotation of the Earth. We view the sky from a moving platform, our planet.
The Chinese made charts of star positions.
Due to the earths precession (How the earth 'wobbles' on its axis) the pole star changes over time. Though this takes many, many years
The stars don't move, the Earth (and you) does. You're spinning (once a day) around a line drawn from the north pole to Polaris.
The altitude of the North Star will not change from any point on Earth. However, the declination changes depending upon where you are and when - It is less than 90 degrees.
The North Star (Polaris) does not get brighter as you travel north. It appears to be the same brightness regardless of your location on Earth. What changes is its position in the sky relative to your viewpoint as you move northward.
The star "Polaris" is the North Star.
A star chart shows the stars positions in the night sky.
North star
The North Star is a star that where ever you are, when you look at it, that is north. It helped explorers to know which way is north;)
no it doesnt.
I think the answer is in the question. North Star!! It's a star called Polaris
