The question cannot be answered because it is based on a false premise that Polaris is the brightest star.
How bright a star appears depends on how bright it is and how far away it is. While, on the whole Polaris is a very bright star it is also very far away, at least 350 light years, which makes it appear dimmer. The brightest star in the night sky is Sirius, one of the closest stars to Earth at only 8.6 light years. The brightest star overall, as viewed from Earth, is the sun, which is a quarter of a million times closer to us than the next nearest star.
