Why does the Polaris appear to remain stationary in the night sky when other stars show an apparent pattern?

Physics
1 answer:
yanalaym [24]3 years ago
3 0
Because one pole of the Earth's axis of rotation (the North one) points
almost exactly toward Polaris.

If Polaris had a pimple or a bump somewhere on its edge, you'd see
the bump rotate around the whole edge, like a clock, once a day.  But
the whole star appears to stay in one place, because our axis points to it.
