Polaris, also known as the North Star, appears to stay in the same spot in the sky because it is located almost directly above the Earth's North Pole. As a result, it is aligned with Earth's axis of rotation and remains fixed while other stars appear to move due to the Earth's rotation.
What else can I help you with?
Do the planets that become dwarf planets stay in the same spot?
Yes, the name may change but the orbit around the sun doesn't
What well known star is polaris?
Polaris is famously known as the North Star, and it belongs to the constellation Ursa Minor. It serves as a reliable navigational aid because it remains nearly stationary as other stars appear to move across the night sky due to Earth's rotation.
Why don't hurricanes stay in 1 spot?
Because winds push them inland
Which star always appears in the same spot every night?
No, because the world is always spinning. Polaris (north star) appears in the same location (omitting precession, nutation, and polar motion) and the other stars appear to rotate counter clockwise around it. Alternately, stars appear to rotate clockwise around the south pole's celestial zenith (no "south star"). The stars will appear in almost the exact same spot each night as they were before at the same time. Because the earth rotates and tilts and revolves around the sun the stars will over the course of a year vary from where they appear at different times of year. _________________________________ We generally think of "one day" as being exactly 24 hours, but that's a "solar" day, with reference to the Sun. Because the Earth is moving in its orbit around the Sun, the Earth actually has to spin about 361 degrees for the Sun to appear in the same spot each day. The "sidereal" day, with reference to the fixed stars, is only 23 hours 56 minutes; that's how long it takes for the Earth to spin exactly 360 degrees, or one full circle. So the stars appear to rise about 4 minutes earlier each day.
What is the altitude of Polaris at the tropic of Capricorn?
At the Tropic of Capricorn, which is located at approximately 23.5 degrees south latitude, the altitude of Polaris (the North Star) is about 23.5 degrees above the northern horizon. This is because Polaris is positioned nearly directly above the North Pole, so as you move southward, its altitude decreases by the same angle. Therefore, at the Tropic of Capricorn, Polaris is not visible at all, as it lies below the horizon.
Does Polaris seem to change positions throughout the year?
No, Polaris is always in the same spot in the sky.
Do the planets get farther away from each other each year?
no, they stay in the same spot...
Does the Elf on the self sometimes stay in the same spot?
Yes, the Elf on the Shelf can stay in the same spot if your child forgets to move it. It's up to the adult to make sure the elf is moved each day to keep the magic alive.
Do opossums migrate?
Yes. They don't usually stay in one spot for long.
Will motor cases from a 1998 polaris fit a 1996 polaris?
a 500 case is the same.
Why does polaris stay fixed all night?
It's an illusion caused by Polaris being (almost) in line with the Earth's axis of rotation.
How does the altitude of Polaris change with latitude?
the altitude of polaris is same as the latitude of your location assuming that you are in the northern hemisphere
How much does the polaris Ranber Weigh?
Most Polaris four wheelers have around the same weight. A Polaris Ranger has an average dry weight of 1,237 pounds.
Do the planets that become dwarf planets stay in the same spot?
Yes, the name may change but the orbit around the sun doesn't
Is epicenter the same as spot?
No. Epicenter is the same as precisely the spot.
Can you use another oil other that polaris oil in a polaris ranger?
Yes you can, Polaris only recomends that you use Polaris brand oils, but any oil of the same weigth should work just fine.
Will 1999 polaris sportsman 500 motor fit in a 2004 polaris sportsman400?
Check and see if it has the same model number. If it has the same model number it should fit.
