Those are called "circumpular" stars. Exactly which stars are circumpolar depends on your location. For example, if you live 30° south of the equator, all stars that are up to 30° from the south pole of the sky will never set.

In the northern hemisphere there are some stars that do not appear to rise or set as other stars do These stars are?

Circumpolar stars. In the northern hemisphere, the north star does not rise or set; the north pole is always pointing toward it. The canopy of stars moves around the north star over the course of a day, giving the apparent rising in the east and setting in the west of most stars as the canopy dips below and moves above the horizon. The stars that are close enough to the north star never set. The part of the canopy that is visible at night changes over the course of a year.


What planets are death stars?

A planets and stars are different things, so a planet can never be a death star.


How do you calculate the range of declinations for which stars are circumpolar?

To calculate the range of declinations for which stars are circumpolar, you need to know the observer's latitude. Circumpolar stars are those that never set below the horizon. For a given latitude ( \phi ), the declination (( \delta )) of circumpolar stars ranges from ( +90^\circ - \phi ) to ( -90^\circ + \phi ). Thus, if you are at a latitude of, say, 40°N, circumpolar stars would have declinations between ( +50^\circ ) and ( -50^\circ ).


Why do stars and constellations also appear to rise and set?

Stars and constellations appear to rise and set due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis. As the Earth rotates, different stars and constellations come into view or move out of view from a specific location on Earth, giving the illusion of them rising and setting.


What is a red gigant?

One of two groups of stars on the Hertzsprung -Russell diagram that have a different set of properties than the main sequence stars; bright, low-temperature giant stars that are enormously bright for their temperature.

Where on Earth so stars always circle the zenith and never rise and set?

The stars always circle the zenith, or the point directly overhead, at the North Pole. This phenomenon occurs due to the Earth's rotation on its axis, which causes the stars to appear to move in a circular pattern above the North Pole without rising or setting.


Are constellations only visible in certain seasons due to the revolution of earth toward the constellation?

It is only partly true. Stars have latitude and longitude just as we do on Earth, but they are called Declination and Right Ascension. A star that has a declination greater than 90 minus your latitude will never set. Such stars are called circumpolar stars. I live at 35° south so stars with declination 90-35=55° will never set. For example I can always see the Southern Cross.

What is special about circumpolar stars?

Circumpolar stars are stars that never dip below the horizon for an observer at a certain latitude, making them visible year-round. They appear to rotate around the celestial pole without setting, unlike other stars that rise and set each day. This unique characteristic makes them useful for navigation and timekeeping.

Stars which appear to revolve around Polaris and do not set go below the horizon are called?

All stars appear to travel in circles around the celestial pole. The ones that areso close to the pole that they never set below the horizon are described as"circumpolar" stars. The size of that region of the sky as seen from your locationdepends on your latitude. At the north or south pole, the entire sky is included.At the equator, none of it is.

If you were standing on the north pole how many circumpolar stars would you see?

If you were standing on the North Pole, you would be able to see all the circumpolar stars in the sky. Circumpolar stars are the stars that never set and orbit around the celestial pole. At the North Pole, they would constantly circle around Polaris, the North Star, without dipping below the horizon.
