Question

How is the pole star distinguished from other stars? Explain.

Short Note

Solution

The Pole star was one of the most familiar stars for travelers in earlier times when there were no instruments or devices to find directions at night. It appears stationary because it is situated in the northern direction along the axis of rotation of the Earth.
