The Pole Star can be seen at an angle of 90° at the North Pole, as it **** directly at the line of axis of the earth, while its angle decreases towards the Equator i.e. it is 0° at the equator. It is only possible in an quarter arc of a circle. It proves that the earth is a sphere with circular surface.
