The North Star, or Polaris, is located nearly directly above the North Pole, making it a constant point in the night sky for observers in the Northern Hemisphere. As the Earth rotates, Polaris remains in a fixed position, allowing it to serve as a reliable navigational marker. This stability is due to its alignment with Earth's rotational axis, which means it rises and sets very little, unlike other stars that change position throughout the night.

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.
