How do stars near polaris appear to change position during the night

Advanced Placement (AP)

<span>The stars change position in the sky through the course of the night just like the sun changes position in the sky through the course of a day, they rise in the east and set in the west. If you were to start watching a star in the east at the beginning of the night and keep observing that same star for hours, you will see the star's position move across the sky and eventually drop below the western horizon. There some stars that don't rise and set through the night though. The stars near the celestial pole move in circles around the pole. There is one star in the sky that doesn't appear to move at all, because it is located in line with the Earth's axis of rotation, or in other words, on the celestial pole. This star is Polaris, or more commonly known as the North Star. The south celestial pole currently lacks a star so there is no southern hemisphere counterpart. In reality, Polaris isn't perfectly on the celestial pole so even it moves in a very small circle too small to be seen with the naked eye.</span>

Question 12 (Worth 6 points) (03.02 MC) The table below shows the density of the crust, the mantle, and the outer and inner core
Fantom [35]

That would be the inner core because when it's under the crust, there would be one layer above it the outer, then the mantle way underneath since the Earth's crust is a thin shell on the outside of the Earth, accounting for less than 1% of Earth's volume. It is the top component of lithosphere : a division of Earth's layers that includes the crust and the upper part of the mantle. And the Earth's mantle is a layer of silicate rock between the crust and the outer core. Its mass of 4.01 × 10 24 kg is 67% the mass of the Earth. It has a thickness of 2,900 kilometres (1,800 mi) making up about 84% of Earth's volume. It is predominantly solid but in geological time it behaves as a viscous fluid.
