Polaris, also known as the North Star, is a supergiant star primarily composed of hydrogen and helium. It is a pulsating variable star, which means its brightness fluctuates due to changes in its outer layers. Polaris is in the later stages of stellar evolution and has expanded significantly, leading to its classification as a type F supergiant. Its core undergoes fusion processes, converting hydrogen into helium and producing heavier elements as it evolves.
