Stationary North Star Impossible on Globe

The reason is Polaris is about 400 light years away a light year is equal to 5.9 TRILLION miles. The diameter of Earth's orbit is twice its distance from the sun, or about 186 million miles. That is such a small distance compared to 400 times 5.9 trillion miles that the perceptible motion from earths orbital changes would not be great enough to be measurable.

I mean i'm not sure if he actually believes what he's saying or not.

I'm sure everyone has heard of sailors of old navigating the seas by the stars. I'm also sure ur probably aware that the North Star is what everything was oriented off of since it is permanently stationary.

If you combine the rotation of the earth, with its 23.4° tilt, and the spin of the earth relative to the suns orbit (ref- €) would make the permanently stationary Pole Star impossible on a Globe Model.

€- Think of the axis spinning like you were taking a straw in a fast food cup (with the lid on and straw through it) and moving it in a circle ......

It's a simple matter of perspective no matter how far away the star is..... If ur facing the opposite direction your looking away from it lol
Since the Pole Star rest over top of North Pole, unless it's the magical dosey-doe'ing Pole Star, it cannot ACTUALLY be stationary and then remain stationary to our changing perspective, not while the months pass and we supposedly orbit the giant STAR known as our Sun.....

U couldn't make this shit up..... Wait.... never mind ???????????? they actually did lol

Ummmm, the north pole is always more or less pointed in the same direction, especially when considered over such unimaginably vast distances. However, due to precession, Polaris won't always be the north star, just how it hasn't always been the north star.

You obviously don't read comments, but there is a spin relative to the orbit around the sun too..... Exactly as I described above in my comment. Add that to the 23.4° tilt of the Earth, and for a 1/4 of the year, u would actually have to see through the earth to see the same stars and constellations. You can come up with all the explanations of variations in distance and millions of miles away..... But if something is 4 trillion light years away, doesn't matter if it's half or twice as far, if u do an 180° spin and look the other direction, you won't see that star or any of its surrounding celestial bodies

Do you see Polaris during the day? No? Didn't think so. However, geuss what? While we don't see it, people in China do. Wow! Basic knowledge is great!
