T DUAL LAMERAHow is Pole Star located in the sky? Explain with a diagram

Answer»

Pole Star is a star which appears stationary from the Earth .

On a clear night , go to an open ground . Choose the time of the year when a group of stars , called the Saptrishi or Ursa Major , is prominent in the sky . Look towards the northern part of the sky and identify Ursa Major .

Imagine a straight line passing through these stars . Extend this imaginary line towards the north direction ( nearly five times the distance between the two stars ) . This line will lead to a star , known as the Pole Star ( North Star )
