Ursa major (big dipper) & other stars rotate around Polaris (north star)

They claim Polaris stays relatively centered because it's perpendicular to Earth's imaginary (their words) rotational axis and due to the gorillions of miles that separate the two. How then do the star trails show just that tiny circle when Earth's spinning around itself just over a few hours, but Earth's orbit around the Sun has no bearing? The celestial distance covered by Earth's spin is much smaller than that of its orbit around the Sun (1000 mph vs. 66,000 mph), yet those 1000 mph result in that circular shape, but those 66,000 mph have no impact over its shape. It should look similar to a stretched slinky, not a circle, and that's without taking into account all the other movements, which is yet another thing...
You can do that from anywhere. The trees have nothing to do with it. Up past 60 latitude, the trees start getting thin, at 90, there is shrubs and grass. It’s called barren land in Canada. I drive up past 60 every winter. Once you go far enough north you can see the dim light of the Sun after it sets, wrap north over Russia, and circle east over China, Aus, Africa and comes back to “rise” into view in the America’s again. Earth is not a twirling, osolating, light speed travelling space orb.
lol in before heliocentards start talking about tilt on an object with no discernible curve
Submission Statement: Sure are a lot of trees above the North Pole.

I sure hope the North Star doesn't trigger anyone. I'm looking at you u/SuicideTruthbomber/.
Because you have to be at the North Pole to photograph the sky.
This is a waste of time for everyone here, not just me.
Yes, Question nothing.
What causes the bulge? Is it the water that bulges, the ground beneath it, or both?
Amazing! I didn't say any of that.
I simply pointed out how that the sky circles a star directly above a densely wooded area, a fair distance away from the pole.
What's next: believing that something red is really black, or that a biological man can be a biological woman?
When you look up from the north pole, there are trees above your head. This is to imply that to see this view of the stars circling your point of view, you must be standing at the north pole, where there are no trees.
No. I didn't. And then you went on to say whatever it was you were currently thinking, based on a guess. You literally just quoted yourself, guessing, and then called me incompetent.

The point was, it makes no sense. That's the point.
Shut your cock hole shill
Why yes, a perfectly normal reaction to an image of the star Polaris in the nights sky.
