Ah, the North Star, my friend. That star has a special name, it's called Polaris. It helps us find our way when we're lost and guides us like a true friend in the night skies. And as for Jupiter, it shines brightly over yonder, dancing alongside Polaris but never quite stealing its steadfast spotlight.
Oh, how wonderful of you to ask about the stars in the sky! Jupiter isn't actually the North Star. The North Star is called Polaris, and it's a special star that's used to help people navigate and find direction at night. Jupiter is a planet that you can often see shining bright in the sky, though, so look out for its twinkling beauty next time you're stargazing.
No planet is called the North Star. The North Star is actually Polaris, which is a star located close to the north celestial pole. It appears stationary in the night sky, and has been used for navigation by many civilizations throughout history.
Neither. It is actually a star. Its true name is Polaris, just as the true name of the sun is Sol. It is nicknamed the North Star because it is the only star that appears not to move in the sky, because its position is directly over the North Pole.
Half. The other half is south of the celestial equator.It depends on the where you're looking from (at the equator it is half and half). If you are at latitude 30 degrees north, then about 2/3 of "your" sky is north of the celestial equator (30 degrees north means that you are one-third of the way north from the equator to the North Pole.)
I think the answer is in the question. North Star!! It's a star called Polaris
The North Star is around 430 light years from Earth. Earth to Jupiter distance varies as the planets orbits The Sun. At their closest they are 628,743,036 million kilometres apart. At their most distant they are 928,081,020 million kilometres apart.

No. Uranus also rotates clockwise as viewed from celestial north

The planet Jupiter is currently visible in the eastern sky in North Carolina. Jupiter is one of the brightest objects in the night sky and can be easily spotted near the eastern horizon in the late evening.
Yes. The North Star is aligned with the celestial north pole.
As of late 2011, it's the planet Jupiter.

Continents are the landforms on a planet. A planet (in OUR solar system) revolves aound the Sun.

It depends on the longitude and it is not a solid planet [its made of gas] so the clouds pretty much control the rotation
The exact elevation of Jupiter at sunset depends on the date, and on your latitude. (Your longitude, curiously, doesn't matter. ) Today is August 8, 2009. From Sacramento, CA, Jupiter rises just about sunset.
