Polaris

A map doesn't tell you which way is north, it tells you which direction to go to get somewhere assuming you already KNOW which way is north... so it's not really an option except in special cases (for example, if a map shows two landmarks that are visible from the sailor's current position, he can use that to determine both where he is on the map and which direction is north).

Yes ! The Polaris Moves Comparatively To Earth !The Position Of The Polaris Is Not Constant .

The meeting point of Polaris (the North Star) and the Southern Cross is at the celestial south pole. This point in the sky is directly opposite the Earth's geographic north pole and cannot be seen from the Southern Hemisphere. Observers in the Northern Hemisphere can use Polaris as a guide to locate the North Star, while in the Southern Hemisphere, the Southern Cross is a prominent constellation used for navigation.

These are called circumpolar constellations.

North, 41 degrees.

You can see it from anywhere in North America, and the parts of South America that are north of the equator.

Polaris is in Ursa Minor (Little Dipper).

All the visible stars are considered fixed stars to distinguish them from the planets that wander round among the fixed stars.

Some nearby stars appear to move very slowly with what is called 'proper motion'; but it takes thousands of years for the shapes of the constellations to change even slightly.

If you are north of the Tropic of Capricorn, winter. The Earth is then tilted in a way that Polaris is in the darkest part of the sky that it can be in. It also can be seen from further south than any other time of year, so in some places, winter is the only season to see Polaris. If you are south of the Tropic of Capricorn, you will not see Polaris no matter what season it is.

it depends if you can find the big dipper and little dipper then you can always find the north star

Polaris is the brightest star in the constellation Ursa minor and Procyon is the brightest star in the constellation canis minor but the brightness of Procyon is not due to it's intense luminosity but it's closeness to the sun, at a distance of 11.46 light years, but both stars are bright

Polaris is a type of star known as a yellow supergiant. It has likely already passed the midpoint of its life cycle and is currently fusing helium in its core. In the future, it will eventually exhaust its fuel and undergo a supernova explosion, which will mark the end of its life cycle.

Polaris' 'elevation' ... the angle between it and your northern horizon ... is roughly equal to your

north latitude.

When you are . . .

. . . on the equator (zero latitude), Polaris is on your horizon;

. . . in Salem Oregon, Minneapolis, Grenoble France, Torino Italy, Ploiesti Romania, Jixi China,

Wakkania Japan, etc. (45 degrees north latitude), Polaris is 45 degrees above your northern horizon;

. . . at the north pole (90 degrees north latitude), Polaris is directly overhead;

. . . south of the equator, Polaris is due north of you but below the horizon.

Because it is in line with Earth's axis of rotation, Polaris never rises or sets. It is always in the same place in the sky from any given location in the northern hemisphere.

Not enough that you would notice with the naked eye. It actually moves in a small circle over the course of 24 hours.

Yes, it is true.

Only if you are at the North Pole.

Polaris, also known as the North Star, can be seen during the day under specific conditions, such as when the sky is exceptionally clear and the sun is low on the horizon. This is typically around sunrise or sunset when the brightness of the sun is less intense. However, due to its brightness and position, it's often difficult to spot during daylight hours. Generally, viewing Polaris is best done at night when it is fully visible against the dark sky.

extreme power

In the northern hemisphere Polaris can be seen in any month of the year.
