Answer:

1 Locate the Big Dipper in the northern sky. Knowing how to find the Big Dipper is easy due to its large size and distinct shape. Depending upon the time of the year constellation of stars may be tipped in different directions  2 as it rotates around the polestar. As shown in the diagram, locate the two stars that form the outer edge of the Big Dipper.                                               3 Draw an imaginary line straight through the two stars of the dipper edge and toward the Little Dipper. The line will point very close to the handle of the Little Dipper.

4The brightest star in the Little Dipper is at the end of its handle. This is the North Star.

Explanation:

If you were at the North Pole, the North Star would be directly overhead. ... If we draw a line connecting these pointer stars and extend further will lead to pole star. This pole star always points towards the direction of North. It remains constant in the direction of North, thereby helping find direction.
