no, because since the earth is a sphere, you can not see around it ,and since the north pole points to the north star, you can not see the north star.

Can you see the north star from the southern hemisphere?

No, the North Star (Polaris) is only visible in the Northern Hemisphere, and cannot be seen from the Southern Hemisphere. Instead, the Southern Hemisphere has its own celestial pole, which is marked by the Southern Cross constellation.


What direction do objects moving in the Southern Hemisphere curve?

Objects in the Southern Hemisphere curve to the left due to the Coriolis effect. This is because the Earth's rotation causes a deflection to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This is the opposite of the deflection in the Northern Hemisphere, where objects curve to the right.


Do the southern hemisphere and in the northern hemisphere have the same constellations?

No, the southern hemisphere has different constellations than the northern hemisphere due to the Earth's tilt and rotation. Some constellations visible in the north may not be visible in the south, and vice versa.


Why don't people who live in the southern hemisphere feel upside down?

Gravity pulls all things toward the center of the earth-- as a result, everyone on earth only feels upside down if their head is pointing toward the ground or they are high/drunk on something. North and South are just directions given to indicate the intersection of earth and its axes at the extreme edges of the earth. North is considered "up" simply because more people live in the northern hemisphere and most people like to think that they are "up." In fact, people in the southern hemisphere, especially Australia, have maps that we would consider upside-down, where north is down and south is up.


What is the altitude of Polaris in the southern hemisphere?

Polaris, also known as the North Star, is located almost directly above the North Pole, making it not visible from the Southern Hemisphere. Its altitude, or angular height above the horizon, corresponds to the observer's latitude in the Northern Hemisphere. Therefore, in the Southern Hemisphere, Polaris has an altitude of 0 degrees, meaning it is always below the horizon.
