Final answer:
Polaris, also known as the North Star, is the nearest star to Earth and remains relatively fixed in the sky.
Explanation:
The nearest star to the Earth is Polaris, also known as the Pole Star or North Star.
Polaris appears almost directly above the Earth's north pole and remains relatively fixed as other stars appear to revolve around it due to Earth's rotation.
While Polaris is currently the North Star, due to Earth's precession, the star Vega in the constellation of Lyra will take its place as the North Star in approximately 14,000 years.
