Explanation:
A pole star or polar star is a star, preferably bright, closely aligned to the axis of rotation of an astronomical object. With regard to planet Earth, the pole star refers to Polaris (Alpha Ursae Minoris), a magnitude 2 star aligned approximately with its northern axis, and a pre-eminent star in celestial navigation.
