Is polaris a particularly bright star?

No. In fact, Polaris is the dimmest of the 57 stars commonly used for celestial navigation. Except for the happy coincidence that Polaris perches almost precisely above the Earth's north pole, nobody would think anything about it. In fact, we're fortunate that the skies around the north pole are bereft of bright stars. Polaris is relatively easy to find only because there are NO bright stars in that part of the sky.

When observed from a location in New York State for an entire night, the North Star Polaris appears to remain nearly stationary in the sky, as it is positioned nearly directly above the North Pole. As the Earth rotates, stars around Polaris will appear to move in circular paths, but Polaris itself serves as a fixed point in the night sky. This unique characteristic makes it a reliable navigational reference for determining true north.
