Why is polaris so useful?

Polaris, also known as the North Star, is particularly useful for navigation because it remains fixed in the sky while other stars appear to move throughout the night. Its location directly above the North Pole makes it a reliable reference point for determining direction, especially for travelers in the Northern Hemisphere. Additionally, its brightness and visibility make it easy to spot in clear night skies.
