Quiz on Pole star

The Pole Star, also known as Polaris, is a bright star located almost directly above Earth’s North Pole. It appears fixed in the night sky while other stars seem to move around it, making it an important guide for navigation. Polaris belongs to the constellation Ursa Minor and is found at the end of the Little Dipper’s handle. It is not the brightest star in the sky but is special because it marks the direction of true north. Polaris is a yellow supergiant star, situated about 323 light-years away from Earth. For centuries, travelers and sailors have used the Pole Star to determine their direction at night. Its steady position makes it a symbol of guidance and constancy in the heavens.
