Can the southern hemisphere people see the pole star Why?

The elevation of Polaris (the North Star) above the Northern horizon is almostequal to the North latitude of the place where you are when you see it.That means that when you stand on the Equator, the North Star is exactlyON the Northern horizon, and if you stand anywhere South of the Equator,the North Star is always BELOW the horizon.But . . .Everybody in the Southern hemisphere CAN see the SOUTH pole of the sky,which nobody in the Northern hemisphere can ever see.Sadly, there's no bright star anywhere near the South pole of the sky,to mark it the way Polaris marks the sky's North pole for us.

The north celestial pole is not visible from any point on Earth's surface south of the equator. This is always true. The north celestial pole is the point in the sky directly above the Earth's north pole. Even though the north celestial poles moves about in the sky, it remains invisible everywhere in the southern hemisphere. The north celestial pole moves around in a circle in the sky as the Earth's axis wobbles. Each wobble takes about 23 thousand years.


When will your shadow be the shortest?

The shortness of your shadow depends both where you are on Earth you are and when you are there.If you stand on the Earth between the Tropics of Cancer (North Tropic ) at 23°26′13.9″ N and Capricorn (South Tropic) at 23°26′13.9″ S at noon your shadow will be directly overhead at some time of the year and will be as small as it can be. The date will range between the Summer Solstice (North), the equinoxes (equator) and the Winter Solstice (south). North or south of the two Tropics your shadow will be shortest at noon on the solstices.
