Answer:

The correct answer is - At the south pole.

Step-by-step explanation:

At the Earth's South Pole, it's the opposite case to the equator. Circumpolar stars consistently live over the skyline or horizon, and thus, never rise or set. All the stars at the poles are circumpolar either south pole or north pole. Every star north of the heavenly equator stays underneath the skyline, though Each star south pole of the celestial equator is circumpolar.

No star is circumpolar in light of the fact that all the stars rise and set day by day at the equator of the earth.

Thus, the correct answer is - At the south pole.
