No, the North Star (Polaris) is only visible in the Northern Hemisphere, and cannot be seen from the Southern Hemisphere. Instead, the Southern Hemisphere has its own celestial pole, which is marked by the Southern Cross constellation.
No, people in the southern hemisphere cannot use the North Star (Polaris) for navigation because it is located directly over the North Pole. Instead, they use the Southern Cross (Crux) constellation to find south.
Polaris, the North Star, is located near the North Celestial Pole which is visible only from the Northern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere, there is no bright star close to the South Celestial Pole like Polaris because the South Celestial Pole does not have a similarly positioned bright star. Therefore, observers in the Southern Hemisphere cannot see Polaris due to its location in the sky.
The elevation of Polaris (the North Star) above the Northern horizon is almostequal to the North latitude of the place where you are when you see it.That means that when you stand on the Equator, the North Star is exactlyON the Northern horizon, and if you stand anywhere South of the Equator,the North Star is always BELOW the horizon.But . . .Everybody in the Southern hemisphere CAN see the SOUTH pole of the sky,which nobody in the Northern hemisphere can ever see.Sadly, there's no bright star anywhere near the South pole of the sky,to mark it the way Polaris marks the sky's North pole for us.
You can see the North Star almost anywhere in the northern hemisphere, starting a few degrees north of the equator.
The Big Dipper is not visible in the Southern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere, you can see the Southern Cross, a constellation that is not visible in the Northern Hemisphere.

You can see the north star from anywhere in the northern hemisphere that is not cloudy and that is in night. It is easier to see the further north you are.
Yes. The North Star is visible anywhere in the northern hemisphere.
One disadvantage of using the North Star to determine direction is that it can only accurately indicate direction in the northern hemisphere. In the southern hemisphere, there is no equivalent bright star to serve as a reliable directional marker.
You can see the North Star almost anywhere in the northern hemisphere, starting a few degrees north of the equator.
Not unless they travel to the Northern Hemisphere!
The Big Dipper is not visible in the Southern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere, you can see the Southern Cross, a constellation that is not visible in the Northern Hemisphere.
The North Star is visible from any part of the northern hemisphere. So on a clear night, it can be seen from Dublin.
Yes, the North Star (Polaris) is visible from Greece. It is located near the north celestial pole, so it can be seen in the northern hemisphere, including Greece.
Hercules is a constellation of the Northern sky, the constellation does not change position and so will never come to the Southern hemisphere. To see everything astronomers need to visit countries in both the northern and southern hemisphere.
