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.
