No, just as you cannot see the Earth turning from any other part of the Earth. Your view, relative to its size, is simply too small to be able to notice is rotation. However, one way you can get an idea of its motion in space is to spin around very quickly and become dizzy. Your body's loss of balance is actually because it is temporarily unable to adjust to the motion of the Earth.

How does a compass know north from south?
A compass works by aligning itself with the Earth's magnetic field. One end of the compass needle is attracted to the Earth's magnetic north pole, which is near the geographical north pole. This alignment allows the compass needle to point north-south accurately.

If pole star doesnt move then how can you see pole star during revolution of earth?
The Pole Star appears stationary in the night sky because it lies almost directly above the Earth's North Pole. As the Earth rotates on its axis, the North Pole always points in the same direction towards the Pole Star. This makes the Pole Star visible every night, regardless of the Earth's revolution around the Sun.

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.
Can you see polaris from south pole?
No... Polaris is another name for the North star - which is only visible in the Northern hemisphere.
Could people in the southern hemisphere use the north star?

In the north, you can see aurora borealis and in the south you can see aurora australis.
Where would you go on earth if you wanted to be able to see both the north celestial pole and the south celestial pole at the same time?
To see both the north celestial pole and the south celestial pole at the same time a person would need to standing at the equator. The atmospheric haze may interfere near the horizon may obstruct the view.
How does a compass know north from south?
A compass works by aligning itself with the Earth's magnetic field. One end of the compass needle is attracted to the Earth's magnetic north pole, which is near the geographical north pole. This alignment allows the compass needle to point north-south accurately.

Is the north pole a natural magnet?
Yes, if you use a compass you you will see it points towards the north pole. Although the north pole is called the North pole, scientifically it is actually the south pole. This is because the Earth\'s magnetic field makes a compass point to the scientific south pole, geographically known as the North Pole
Why an observer in the southern hemisphere cannot see the star polaris?
Polaris, the North Star, is located near the North Celestial Pole which is visible only from the Northern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere, there is no bright star close to the South Celestial Pole like Polaris because the South Celestial Pole does not have a similarly positioned bright star. Therefore, observers in the Southern Hemisphere cannot see Polaris due to its location in the sky.
