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.
Polaris, also known as the North Star, is located about 433 light-years away from Earth, while the constellation Gemini is not a single point in space but rather a region of the sky that contains multiple stars. The distance to the stars within Gemini varies, with some stars being significantly closer or farther from Earth than Polaris. Therefore, the distance between Polaris and the stars in Gemini can vary widely depending on which specific stars are considered.
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.
The Little Dipper is part of the Ursa Minor constellation and is primarily known for its brightest star, Polaris, also known as the North Star. The other stars that make up the Little Dipper include Kochab, Pherkad, and several fainter stars like Yildun, Eltanin, and others. These stars form a distinct asterism that resembles a ladle or a dipper, with Polaris marking the end of the handle.
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.
