The Pole Star, or Polaris, is directly above Earth's North Pole. From our perspective on Earth, every star in the sky pivots around the Pole Star, causing them to rise and set. Because of it's position over the North Pole, it's the only star that doesn't appear to move. It also is used to assist humans in finding north - since it's stays in the same place all through the night and year.
As the Earth rotates on its axis, the stars appear to move across the night sky. The stars above the horizon will create a circle, while the Pole Star hardly moves at all. This makes the Pole Star fixed and is used as a pointer to the North - very important in navigation.

The North Star sits at a point in the sky near where the northern axis of the earth sits. This means that the North star's relative position in the sky does not change. In fact, in a 24 hour Earth cycle, the north star only moves in a small circle.
The north star, or Polaris, is always in the same position in the sky regardless of the time of day. It 'sits above' the north pole while all other stars move around it as the earth spins on it's axis (we are spinning rather than the stars moving). It is more or less exactly in the north all of the time. By using it as a reference, you can then work out the other directions from it.
The importance of the north star is that it never moves
Polaris is the name witch is located in Ursa Minor
the North Stars position remains essentially fixed which makes it very usefull for celestial navigation
It is commonly used to navigate & a reference point for astronomy. Some believe it may be the star of Bethlehem. Time will tell.
The North Star has a luminosity of about 4000 times more than the sun.
It is not going to remain the North Star.

Yes. The pole star/ north star/ Polaris is in the constellation Ursa Minor.
In a word YES!!!. However, the Pole Star/ North Star are more correctly named as 'Polaris'. It is a star in the constellation of Ursa Minor (Little Bear). The Star is readily visible at night in the northern hemisphere. It has a magnitude of 1.98
From the UK, I've never noticed that the pole star looks particularly bright. The big dipper is often used to pin-point the Pole Star.

The constellation points to the pole star (Polaris).
Jews found it so it is not real, it is dark magic.

The Pole Star appears to remain stationary because it is directly above the North Pole.
North StarThe name of the pole star is polaris.Polaris, also called the "North Star".
NO!!! Betelgeuse is seen in the constellation of Orion. It can easily be seen in the South Western Sky in the evening, during the months of January and February, It is no where near the Polaris (Pole Star).
