A person is going towards north in the night and he sees Dhruv tara and sees it on his left side. Which of the following statements justifies the fact?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Never
Dhruv tara, the Pole Star, lies almost straight above the Earth’s North Pole, so from India it is always seen in the north and hardly moves through the night. A person walking north faces the Pole Star; it is straight ahead of him, while his left side points west.
The Pole Star can be on the left only of a person facing east, so for someone going north the situation in the question never happens.
