They are stars.
Polaris is not exact, but very, very close ... closer thanyou can read with a moderately good compass.Unfortunately, if you're south of the equator, you cannever see Polaris in the sky, so it's not helpful to you.

Polaris (North Star or Pole Star) has an apparent magnitude of +1.97 (Variable)
A stellar unit refers to a unit of distance used in astronomy to measure the distance between stars. It is typically equivalent to the mean distance between stars within a galaxy, which can vary depending on the galaxy being observed.
The names of some of the starts in the little dipper (which are part of the constellation Ursa Minor) are as follows: Kochab Pherkad Polaris Yildun Perkhad Minor There are some other stars involved as well.
6 stars. they are the Polaris (north star) ,Kochab, Pherkad, Yildun, Ahfa al Farkadain, and Anwar al Farkadain.
Merak and Dubhe are the two "pointer stars" at the lip of the Big Dipper. Draw a line between the two stars and follow it for seven times the distance between them. You'll find a medium-bright star called Polaris.
The star Yildun is classified as a white star, which means it emits a white light. White stars are typically hotter than other stars like red or yellow stars.
They are stars.
Due to the vast distance between the earth and polaris, the earths axis of rotation essentially lines up with polaris at all times, so when the stars are visible, and viewed from the north pole, the earths rotation causes the stars to appear to rotate around polaris.

Polaris is the closest of the three stars.

Yes, Polaris is moving, as are all stars in the galaxy.
The distance between two stars is typically much greater than the distance between two planets. Stars are usually light-years apart, while planets in the same star system are typically within a few astronomical units of each other.
