Is northern star next to the moon if not then where is the northern star located by stars or away from them?

Answer 1

The North Star (Polaris) is never near the moon in the sky.

The North Star is not a particularly conspicuous star ... many other stars are brighter. The North Star is distinguished by the fact that while every star in the sky appears to turn around the earth ... completing one revolution roughly every 24 hours ... the North Star is the one that appears almost stationary in the sky, appearing always in the same place.

Note that the North Star is not visible from any place south of the equator. The following discussion applies for anyone living north of the equator:

To find the North Star, face north on a night when the sky is clear of clouds. If you know your latitude in degrees north of the equator, raise your eyes that same angle from the northern horizon ... the horizon itself is zero degrees, and the point directly over your head is 90 degrees. The North Star appears due north of you, and an angle above the horizon that's equal to your north latitude.

If you don't know your latitude, the North Star can be identified by its relationship to distinctive patterns of other stars in the same region of the sky; but to describe them here would become complex and tedious. Perhaps the best suggestion is that you take a lawn chair outside on a comfortable night, set it up facing north and get comfortable. Looking due north at the sky, familiarize yourself with some of the most conspicuous stars in that direction, and their places with respect to each other. Look again 15 minutes later, and again after another 15 minutes. Eventually, you'll come to recognize that the entire sky and every star in it is turning around one point in the northern sky. The star at that point, which appears not to be moving at all, is the North Star.
