<h2>Answer: (C) Polaris does not rise nor set</h2>

Explanation:

In the northern hemisphere the star \alpha Ursae Minoris , located in the constellation of the Little Bear (Ursa Minor in latin) is the polar star (known as Polaris).

This is because this star is currently located very close to the Earth rotation axis. That is why when observing the sky in the north direction, being in the northern hemisphere, Polaris will seem immobile in the middle of the rest of the stars.

However, it is necessary to note that \alpha Ursae Minoris  will not always be the polar star, because each year the Earth's totation axis moves approximately one degree, which will cause another star (\gamma Cephei ) to take the place of Polaris within many years.

How is the study of the earth's interior an example of indirect observation
castortr0y [4]
There is really nothing to know. All you have to use is context clues and common sense. We know some synonyms for direct are manage and handle. Indirect means not direct, right? And we can't handle or manage earth's interior (core), right? Therefore, the study of earth's interior is an example of indirect observation because we cannot directly manage it.

5. What are the political and economic factors that complicate global warming
kolezko [41]
A lot of it is media bias. You won't hear this in school but Global Warming is a true but simple concept. Most of the arguments are between jobs that non-renewable energy gives us, and planet saving renewable energy.
