The moon is far closer to Earth than any star is.
Pole star WHEN DIRECTION
The largest factor influencing the precession of Earth's axis is gravitational interactions with the Moon and the Sun. These gravitational forces cause a torque on Earth's non-spherical shape, leading to the slow wobbling motion known as precession.
North star is the polar star, not the pole star.The North Star is the pole star; it is diredtly above the North pole and is called Polaris. A polar star is a star in close proximity to the polar region such as Sigma Octantis, the Southern star which is close to but not directly over the South pole.
Yes, the pole star is real and it is also known as Polaris. It is a bright star located almost directly above the North Pole, making it appear stationary as the Earth rotates. The pole star has been used for navigation by many civilizations throughout history.
Among the visible stars, it's the one we have named 'Polaris'. But there are many stars closer to the north celestial pole that aren't bright enough to be seen with the naked eye.
The nearest star to the Sun is Proxima Centauri.
The nearest star is 9000 times as far away as Neptune. The pole star is 80-100 times further than that.
The sun is the nearest star. It's about 393 times as far from usas the moon is.The next nearest star is about 106,800,000 times as far from usas the moon is.From the point of view of any star, the moon and the earth arepretty much in the same place.
Polaris is the star nearest to the imaginary extension of the North pole into space

The nearest pole to Australia is the South Pole.
There is no star between the Earth and the Moon. The nearest star is the Sun, at 93,000,000 miles away, whereas the Moon is only about 239,000 miles away.
No, the Moon orbits the middle of the Earth, not quite over the equator but over the tropics. The "pole star" Polaris is nearly over the North Pole, and other stars are closer at various times of the year.
The nearest bright star to the north celestial pole in 14,000 AD will be Vega. It won't be as close to the pole as Alpha Ursae Minoris ("Polaris") currently is, though.
The Pole Star (Polaris) is not the closest star to our solar system. It is located about 434 light-years away. The closest star to our solar system is Proxima Centauri, which is part of the Alpha Centauri star system and is located about 4.24 light-years away.
North Pole.
The nearest point of land to the North Pole is the northern tip of Greenland, which is in North America.
