Answer:

B) stay the same

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The stars set to rise and fall daily from the sphere of the equator and instead viewed from the poles.
  • In the northern hemisphere, the stars go the full circle. Around the north celestial poles precisely once a day. At 0 degree the star named Polaris is seen and will the same when viewed from all angles.
  • Thus there appears to be more stars at the equator and hence, stars move parallel to the celestial equator.
