Question

2. Why does the Pole Star appear to be stationary?
1.no​

Answer 1

Answer:

The pole star appears to be stationary from the Earth, because it is situated close to the direction of the axis of rotation of the Earth. The angle of Pole star decreases towards the Equator.

Explanation:

Polaris, the North Star, appears stationary in the sky because it is positioned close to the line of Earth's axis projected into space. As such, it is the only bright star whose position relative to a rotating Earth does not change. All other stars appear to move opposite to the Earth's rotation beneath them.

Answer 2

Pole star also known as the north star help us to find directions (as it is always in the north and other directions can be found ,if any one direction is known) and also since the axis of rotation of Earth passes through pole star, it is that point about which the sky rotates and hence the pole star appears fixed.
