Heya!!

Pole star is located above the north pole and the earth revolve on its axis passing through the poles. So north pole looks stationary because of its location.

Hope it helps

The stars appear to move from east to west across the night sky because as Earth rotates, the sky is observed as rotating, according to Astronomy Education at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. Observers on Earth, in both the northern and southern hemispheres, see objects in the sky move counter-clockwise.
