Polaris is a very bright star (in fact, one of the brightest of all the stars visible in the skies above Earth) simply because of its location. Being much closer to Earth than most other stars, it looms more largely in the sky; thus, observers on Earth's surface see more of it, thereby enabling the star to share more of its light with those same observers.

What is the unique about the polaris?

Polaris is situated almost along the axis of the earth's rotation, above the North Pole. As a result, to viewers in the Northern hemisphere, it appears to be stationary above the pole and so acts as a direction finder.

No. Polaris is a multiple star system. In the late 18th century it was resolved into two components, Polaris A and Polaris B. Later, Polaris A was resolved further into Polaris Aa and Polaris Ab. Neither Polaris Aa nor Polaris Ab are red giants. Aa is a supergiant and Ab is a dwarf; both of them are spectral class F ("yellow-white").

What is the daily motion of Polaris as seen from earth?

Polaris, also known as the North Star, appears to have minimal daily motion in the night sky due to its position nearly aligned with Earth's rotational axis. As Earth rotates, Polaris remains nearly stationary, making it a key reference point for navigation in the Northern Hemisphere. While other stars appear to move in circular paths around Polaris, it essentially marks the North Celestial Pole, thus maintaining its position throughout the night. This unique characteristic makes Polaris an important tool for celestial navigation.
