Because the Earth rotates a full circle in 24 hours, the sky
above us appears to turn like a knob. The center of that nob will be
Polaris - the Night Star - which is directly above the North Pole.
Seen from the Equator, the North Star is on the horizon; anywhere
else, it expresses the latitude of one's position on the globe.
Below, Saint-Jean sur Richelieu, at 45 degrees of Latitude sees Polaris
up 45 degrees.
