Answer 1

Big Dipper is used to locate the Polaris, which is also known as North Star.

The Big Dipper circles around the North Star 23 hours and 56 minutes.

In 24 hours, the Big Dipper is at an angle of 361 degrees which means that after day, it will appear a little lower in the north western sky.

Polaris occurs at the tip of the handle of Big Dipper.
