Text Solution

Verified by Experts

To locate the Pole Star we should look towards the northern part of the sky and identify Ursa Major. We may look at the two stars at the end of Ursa Major. A straight line passing through these stars is imagined and is extended towards the north direction. This line will lead to a star which is not too bright. This is the Pole star.
