People can tell time by looking at Polaris, or the North Star, because it is positioned nearly directly above the North Pole, making it a reliable indicator of true north. By observing the angle of Polaris above the horizon, one can determine their latitude. Additionally, the stars around Polaris move in a predictable manner throughout the night, allowing for an understanding of the time based on their position. However, this method is more effective for navigation than for precise timekeeping.
