You would see very little, unless you could stand very still for some 434 years - that's the time light takes to travel from Polaris to Sol.

Where would someone see Polaris if they were at horizon?

If someone is at the horizon, they would see Polaris, also known as the North Star, located at a specific angle above the horizon depending on their latitude. In the Northern Hemisphere, Polaris is positioned nearly directly above the North Pole, so it appears higher in the sky the further north one travels. At the equator, Polaris would be right at the horizon, while in the Southern Hemisphere, it would not be visible at all.

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.

How do you measure latitude by polaris?

Polaris (or the North Star) is almost directly above the North pole. This means that when you stand on the north pole and look directly up, you will see Polaris. This also means that when you stand at the equator and look directly north, you will see Polaris on the horizon. You can not see Polaris from the Southern Hemisphere. The angle Polaris is above the horizon is equal to the degree latitude that you are standing on. Therefore at the equator, Polaris is 0 degrees above the horizon and at the north pole, Polaris is 90 degrees above the horizon.
