Question
read the passage. polaris might look like the other stars in the night sky, but something about it is very unusual. often called the
orth star,\ polaris is special because it lines up almost perfectly with earths poles. as our planet spins around like a top, other stars appear to move around the sky. polaris, however, seems to stay in almost the same place. because the stars position never appears to change, it can be used to tell direction. for hundreds of years, polaris has helped sailors, explorers, and travelers find their way. it is like a cosmic compass in the sky. based on the passage, how is polaris different from other stars? it seems to spin around like a toy top. it looks farther away than it really is. it does not appear to move in the sky. it orbits around the earths north pole.
The passage states that as Earth spins, other stars appear to move, but Polaris seems to stay in almost the same place, not appearing to move in the sky.
