What country would an observer not see Polaris in the night sky at any time during the year?

An observer would not see Polaris, also known as the North Star, in the night sky at any time during the year if they are located south of the equator. This is because Polaris is positioned nearly directly above the North Pole, making it visible only in the Northern Hemisphere. As one travels further south, Polaris gradually sinks lower in the sky until it is no longer visible. Countries such as Brazil, Australia, and South Africa are examples where Polaris cannot be observed.
