What group of stars can be used as a star clock to tell time at night?
The group of stars known as the Big Dipper (part of Ursa Major) can be used as a star clock to tell time at night. By tracking the position of the Big Dipper in the night sky, you can estimate the time based on its orientation relative to the North Star.

What is a group of stars and planets traveling together?
A group of stars (and, by implication, any planets they may have) "travelling together" is called a moving group or association. One locally prominent moving group is the Ursa Major moving group, which includes most of the stars in the Big Dipper (as well as several other stars in Ursa Major and other constellations). The two "ends" of the dipper are not part of the group, but all the ones in the middle are moving in the same direction (towards Sagittarius) and at roughly the same speed. This makes the Big Dipper one of the few asterisms where most of the stars actually are "related" to each other in some way.
What is alpha Ursa major?

Is polaris star on big dipper?
No, Polaris (the North Star) is part of the Little Dipper (which is part of the constellation Ursa Minor, "The Little Bear"). Polaris is the bottom-most star in the "handle" of the Little Dipper.
How can one determine which star is the North Star?
It is the brightest star in the northern part of the sky. It is part of the Little Dipper and the Big Dipper 'points' to it. The north star is on the tip of the 'Little Dippers' handle. The brighter 'Big Dipper' is easier to see in the night sky so that will be used as a reference point. The 'Big Dipper' constellation is composed of seven stars. Three form the handle and four form the spoon/dipper part. After finding the 'Big Dipper', trace an imaginary line from the two stars on the spoon/dipper opposite the handle. Follow the line to the brightest star; that's the North Star.
Does the big dipper have the star polaris in it?
No, Polaris is part of the Little Dipper, or Ursa Minor.
What is the Big dipper called if it is a smaller constellation?
