True.
Stars appear to move across the sky each night because the earth is moving, but not the stars. Also some stars are only visible during certain seasons because as the earth rotates, they become visible.
For an observer standing on the equator, the North Star Polaris is not visible. If it were, it would be right on the northern horizon, but from the equator, it is probably hidden behind a tree or in the sea mist.
The altitude of Polaris at the equator is 0 degrees. This means that Polaris is directly on the horizon and not visible at all from the equator. Polaris can only be seen in the northern hemisphere at latitudes above 23.5 degrees.
The only one thing between a meridian and the equator that I can think of is distance. Of course the equator itself is a meridian in which case there is no distance between.
It's only visible at night, but it is visible all year round in North America. In fact, it never goes below the horizon anywhere north of the equator.
No, the equator is not an anticline. An anticline is a geological structure that can be observed on the face of the earth. The equator is only visible on maps.

The stars were only visible once the sun had set and the sky darkened.
Very small. Only about 7.6% of all visible stars.
In Delhi only 50-60 stars are visible just because there is a lot of pollution so the sky is full of dust and also because the Ozone layer protects the Earth with Atmosphere so maximum only 50-60 stars are visible.

Standing on the equator, you would not see any circumpolar stars. Circumpolar stars are those that never dip below the horizon, and they can only be seen from latitudes above a certain threshold, typically around 25 degrees (North or South) or higher. The closer you are to the poles, the more circumpolar stars you can see.
No, the line of the Earth's equator is not visible from outer space. It is a conceptual line that marks the halfway point between the North and South Poles and can only be observed on maps or by using specialized tools.
There are actually billions of stars in the sky, but during the daytime, sunlight is so bright that only the brightest star, our Sun, is visible. At night, more stars become visible as the sky darkens and our eyes adjust to the darkness.
