Solution
No.
The Earth rotates from West to East on its
axis. Hence, all stars in the sky (except the Pole star) appear to
move from East to West. With reference to the Earth, the Pole star
does not appear to move in the sky because it is located above the
axis of rotation of the Earth in the north direction. It appears to
remain stationary at a point in the sky.
