How do the star paths observed from Quito, Ecuador, contrast with those seen from Anchorage, Alaska?

Quito, near the equator, sees virtually all stars rise and set over a 12-hour period, whereas Anchorage, at a high latitude, sees many stars circling overhead without ever setting.

The difference in star visibility between Quito, Ecuador (near the equator, low latitude), and Anchorage, Alaska (high latitude), highlights the strong influence of latitude on observation. At the equator (Quito), the celestial equator passes nearly overhead, resulting in stars crossing the sky along the shortest possible path, rising perpendicularly and setting perpendicularly, spending about half their time visible. Conversely, at high latitudes like Anchorage, the celestial poles are situated high above the horizon. This causes many stars to trace large circles high in the sky, resulting in them remaining visible throughout the night without ever dipping below the horizon; they become circumpolar.
