Imagine a children's merry-go-round with a vertical pole at the centre and a light on the top. You are riding round and round, but as you sit there and watch the light, it always stays in the same place. That is how it works. The Earth is a merry-go-round and the Pole Star is in line with the axis of rotation, so it always sits in the same place in the sky.
If you are standing at the North Pole, the constellations will appear to rotate counterclockwise around the North Star (Polaris). This is because the North Star is directly above the North Pole, and as the Earth rotates on its axis, the stars appear to move in circles around it.
This is because the Pole Star (i.e. Polaris, in the Northern hemisphere) is within a degree of the Earth's centre of rotation. That is, the north pole is in line with this particular star. Thus, as the Earth rotates, Polaris does not appear to move in the sky, and the rest of the stars appear to revolve around it.
The North Star, also known as Polaris, appears not to move in the night sky because it is located very close to the Earth's axis of rotation. This alignment makes it seem as though Polaris remains fixed while the other stars appear to rotate around it as the Earth spins on its axis.
All stars appear to move due to Earth's rotation, but the Pole Star, also known as Polaris, remains in a relatively fixed position in the sky because it is located almost directly above Earth's North Pole. This causes it to appear stationary as other stars appear to rotate around it.
As the Earth spins on it axis, the stars appear to move across the sky as we see them from the Earths surface. The pole star does not shift much from its position throughout the night though. This is because the axis about which the Earth is turning is pointing in its direction, towards the north (and out towards the south too).
North
no stars move.its the earth spinning that makes it look like they more. the north star is directly abouve us so it doenst appear to move.

The only star that does not appear to move in the Sky is Polaris, the North Star. (Actually it does move in a TINY circle, but the apparent motion is too small to notice.)
The north star doesn't appear to move because it is at the tip of the axis of the Earth so we view it as not moving. All stars move because they are full of energy and ready to zoom. The north star is also moving, but since the Earth is spinning so quickly it seems to not be moving. Hope this helps :).
Not just the big dipper but all of the stars appear to rotate around the North Star because Earth is rotating. The North Star does not appear to move because it is in line with Earth's axis of rotation.
Polaris, also called the North Star, is just about in line with the north pole and so does not appear to move across the sky as other stars do.
stars dont move, but as we move they appear to.

The north star
The North Star, also known as Polaris, appears not to move in the night sky because it is located very close to the Earth's axis of rotation. This alignment makes it seem as though Polaris remains fixed while the other stars appear to rotate around it as the Earth spins on its axis.
To locate the North Star in the night sky, find the Big Dipper constellation and follow the two outer stars in its bowl to the North Star, which is the brightest star in the Little Dipper constellation. The North Star is always in the northern sky and remains stationary while other stars appear to move throughout the night.
