It's not so much the North Star (Polaris) that has changed; stars do change, but usually not very quickly.What has changed is the direction of Earth's axis of rotation in space. It currently points almost exactly towards Polaris, but this will change over time.

One Contributors OpinionIn 2012 the next polar reversal will take place on earth. This means that the North Pole will be changed into the South Pole. Scientifically this can only be explained by the fact that the earth will start rotating in the opposite direction, together with a huge disaster of unknown proportions.
Answerthe northernmost place on Earth is the North Pole!
The process by which Earth's magnetic poles change places is known as geomagnetic reversal. This occurs when the Earth's magnetic field weakens, causing the north and south magnetic poles to switch positions. This reversal can take thousands of years to complete.
True north runs from any point on the Earth's surface to the North Pole.

The question is irrevelant. Hot compared to what ? Compared to north Canada, yes. Compared to Miami, no.
There are thousands and thousands of facts about North Dakota. It all depends on what you want to know about the state.
North America is the third largest continent in terms of size, after Asia and Africa. It covers approximately 16.5% of the Earth's land area.
Pretty much the same distance it is from us: about 2.5 million light years. The north star is about 434 light years from Earth, thousands of times closer.

The earth spins (this makes night and day), the axis of spin (a line between the north and south poles) is tipped over as compared to the plane in which the Earth orbits the Sun each year. This means that for 1/2 the year the northern half of Earth is tipped slightly towards the sun (it is warmer in the north) and for the other 1.2 of the year the northern half of Earth is tipped away form the Sun (it is cooler in the north).
Over the last 200 million years, the position of North America relative to the equator has changed due to the movement of tectonic plates. North America has shifted from being closer to the equator to its current position further north. This movement is part of the ongoing process of plate tectonics shaping the Earth's geography over long periods of time.
