Best Answer

Because the "pole star" is aptly named due to being located at Earth's pole. The pole is the axial point where Earth is rotating so anything located at the pole will appear as though it is stationary.

Why we don't get dizziness or why we not rotating when the earth rotates?

It's a little like being on a bus or a train that's traveling at a constant velocity (not slowing down or speeding up). As long as the speed remains constant, you don't feel like you're losing your balance. It's the same standing on the earth while it's rotating. You will not get dizzy because it takes a whole day to rotate once.
