Polaris is approximately 430 light years from the Sun.
Owing to its fortuitous position aligned with the north pole of the Earth, Polaris is commonly used for navigation; a sextant reading of Polaris can, with a very minor correction, be read as the latitude of a ship. However, Polaris is not especially bright; in fact, it is the dimmest star commonly used for celestial navigation.
Each light year is about 9.5 x 1012 kilometers or 5.88 × 1012 miles
