How will the constellations move across the sky if you are standing at the North Pole?
If you are standing at the North Pole, the constellations will appear to rotate counterclockwise around the North Star (Polaris). This is because the North Star is directly above the North Pole, and as the Earth rotates on its axis, the stars appear to move in circles around it.
Which star does not appear to move and why?
The North Star, also known as Polaris, does not appear to move in the sky because it is located almost directly over the Earth's North Pole. This position causes Polaris to remain relatively stationary while the Earth rotates, making it a reliable navigational reference point.
The latitude of the North Star is always equal to the altitude of the viewer?
Yes, the altitude of the North Star is equal to the observer's latitude in the Northern Hemisphere. The North Star's position in the sky is directly above the Earth's North Pole, and as you move south from the North Pole, the angle of elevation of the North Star above the horizon decreases by an amount equal to your latitude.
