The "Northern" star i assume you mean is the one very close to the celestial north pole. It is called Polaris and is in the constellation of Ursa Minor (Little Bear). The big dipper (called the plough here in England) are seven bright stars in the neighbouring constellation of Ursa Major (Great Bear). The two stars called Dubhe and Merak which form the front or shovel end of the dipper, are called pointers as they point towards Polaris.
No, "Big Dipper" is a proper noun referring to a well-known star formation in the northern sky. It is not an adjective.
Cassiopeia and the Big Dipper appear to rotate counterclockwise around the North Star in the northern hemisphere.
You can find the Big Dipper constellation in the northern part of the sky, specifically in the northern hemisphere. It is easy to spot due to its distinct shape of a ladle or saucepan. The Big Dipper is part of the Ursa Major constellation.
The Ark is the brightest star in the big dipper
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.

Draco is a constellation in the northern sky that is typically visible in the northern hemisphere during the summer months. It can be found by looking for its distinctive shape resembling a dragon, with its head near the Big Dipper and its body winding between the handle of the Big Dipper and the Little Dipper. Using a star chart or a stargazing app can help you pinpoint its location in the night sky.
To find the North Star in the night sky, locate the Big Dipper constellation first. Follow the two outer stars of the Big Dipper's bowl to find the North Star, which is the last star in the handle of the Little Dipper. The North Star is always in the northern sky and remains stationary, making it a reliable guide for navigation.
The Big Dipper is located in the Northern Hemisphere. It is visible year-round to observers in this hemisphere.
