The little dipper is in our Milky Way Galaxy, actually not all that far from us. It is above the big dipper, so that it appears to be pouring into the big dipper. If you can see the north star, that is the tail (or end of the handle) of the little dipper. The middle stars of the little dipper are somewhat faint, but the two outside stars of the top and bottom of the little dipper pan are about as bright as the north star.

Asked by Wiki User

The location of the Little Dipper changes from night to night (although circling around every once in a long while). In order to find it, one needs to look for Polaris, or the "North Star". Polaris is part of the Little Dipper. If you know where the Big Dipper is, you can find the Little Dipper near it.

  • You were located at 12° or more North latitude at the time of your observation.
  • You were out of doors, after dark.
  • The sky was clear in your neighborhood, at least toward the North.
  • You were looking toward the north at the time.

Which is closer to earth the little dipper or the big dipper?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Both of those constellations are actually just what we see. In actuality, those stars may be just as far apart from each other as they are from us, and are most likely hundreds/thousands of light-years away from each other. To sum it all up, all of those stars are different distances from the Earth.
