Polaris
Polaris is Earth's current northern pole star, and thus is commonly referred to as the North Star. Historically, Polaris was used by sailors and navigators to determine their current latitude while crossing oceans. Please place all questions about Polaris, the brightest star in the constellation Ursa Minor, into this category.

Why does the big dipper change its position over night while the polar remain in its position?
The Earth's Orbit, its axis is aligned with Polaris.
What are common problems for north star engines?
Common problems for North Star engines include issues with the head gasket, which can lead to coolant leaks and overheating. Additionally, they often experience problems with the ignition system, including faulty spark plugs and coils, resulting in misfires. Oil leaks, particularly around the valve covers, and issues with the timing chain or belt are also frequently reported. These problems can affect overall performance and reliability if not addressed promptly.
Betelgeuse Alpha Centauri Polaris Antares Which of these stars are closest to the earth?
Every star is pretty huge, compared to anything in our life experience.
In size.
- Betelgeuse: Red giant. Diameter 1,180 solar radii.
- Aldebaran: Orange giant: 45 solar radii.
- Alpha Centauri - Which one? A, B or C. For A, yellow dwarf: 1.22 solar radii.
- Polaris: Which one? A, Ab, B , C or D? For A, bright giant, 46 solar radii.
So a simple question can be so difficult. All are giants except Alpha Centauri, however, as this is a homework question, the teacher is obviously looking for Betelgeuse.

What is the angle of Polaris above Fairbanks Alaska?
Fairbanks is located at latitude 64.8 degrees north, so the north celestial pole is always 64.8 degrees above the horizon. Polaris itself is presently about 0.7 degrees from the celestial pole, so its altitude above the horizon will vary between 64.1 and 65.5 degrees during the course of a sidereal day.
Why has the position of polaris in the sky changed over the years?
1) Polaris moves, just as all "fixed stars" do.
2) The Earth's axis precesses (wobbles in a circle) like any gyroscope (spinning object) over a period of about 25000 years; thus celestial north changes.
How do you read Polaris snowmobile model numbers?
i work as an assembly mechanic for a polaris dealer, and all i can say for sure is that the tenth digit of the serial number is the year.... example....3=1993 or 2003
