Hope it helps.... pls mark as brainliest ans

Explanation:

Polestar, also spelled pole star, also called (Northern Hemisphere) North Star, the brightest star that appears nearest to either celestial pole at any particular time.

Sailors and travelers have used it for navigational purposes for centuries because of its constant-seeming position in the sky. Because Polaris is located very close to the point where our north polar axis points, it appears motionless in the sky.
