Answer:

- Pole star is the brightest star in constellation Ursa Minor. - Position of pole star relative to earth is constant & thus it was the ideal star to look for direction in ancient times. - It's very close to northen pole, thus used to indicate north pole. - Hence, pole star is important tool for skywatch.To locate Polaris, all you have to do is to find the Big Dipper pointer stars Dubhe and Merak. These two stars outline the outer part of the Big Dipper's bowl. Simply draw a line from Merak through Dubhe, and go about five times the Merak/Dubhe distance to Polaris. If you can find the Big Dipper, you can find Polaris.You can't see the pole star at all if you are south of the equator, very close to the equator or in the southern hemisphere.
