Polaris, also known as the North Star, is used to tell direction because it is located nearly directly above the North Pole, making it a reliable indicator of true north. Its position remains relatively fixed in the night sky, allowing travelers and navigators in the Northern Hemisphere to easily locate it and orient themselves. By finding Polaris, one can determine which way is north, aiding in navigation and positioning.
