Question

If you walked north from the equator 10°, how would you expect Polaris to move?

It would move west 10°.
It would descend below the horizon 10°.
It would rise above the horizon 10°.
It would move east 10°.

Answer 1

In the Northern hemisphere, "Polaris is always closer to the Northern horizon", but the one exception is if it is at the zenith. If Polaris is at your zenith (straight overhead) This means you are at the North Pole. Therefore, it would rise above the horizon 10 degrees.

Answer 2

It would appear to rise from the horizon to 10° above the horizon. Keep gong north until you reach the North Pole and the pole star will appear directly overhead.
