Hi
Where is pole star located?
Pole star or polar star is the name of Polaris in the constellation of Ursa minor as it is the star closest to the earth's celestial north pole. From our perspective on Earth, every star in the sky pivots around the Pole Star, causing them to rise and set.
Because of its position over the North Pole, it's the only star that doesn't appear to move. It also is used to assist humans in finding north - since it stays in the same place all through the night and year.
