Well, that's a fabulous question! Polaris, also known as the North Star, always appears in the north because it lines up almost perfectly with the Earth's axis of rotation. Due to this alignment, as the Earth spins on its axis, Polaris seems to stay in place while all the other stars revolve around it like a soothing twirl in a lovely painting. It's a comforting guide for travelers and a gentle reminder of stability in our wondrous universe.
