Zenith can be defined as _____

A)
Celestial North Pole
B)
The celestial South Pole
C)
The centre of the Celestial sphere
D)
The point of sky overhead the observer, on the celestial sphere

Correct Answer :   The point of sky overhead the observer, on the celestial sphere


Explanation : Zenith is defined as the point of sky overhead the observer, on the celestial sphere. It can be also described as the intersection point of the celestial sphere & the normal drawn to the celestial horizon. As the celestial horizon depends on the position of the observer on the Earth, it can coincide with the Celestial North Pole & Celestial South Pole, but that is not always the case. Zenith can never be the centre of the celestial sphere because it does not lie on the sphere boundary.
