Big Dipper

I don't know about pointing at two stars, but the last two stars in the big dipper's handle point to Arcturus, one of the brightest stars in the sky. Arcturus is in the constellation of Bootes, the Herdsman.

The human construct of using star formations and equating them with living and inanimate objects goes back to the origins of our species. It is impossible to determine who drew the first ideas and names of the stars and their positions. What is known is that major constellations such as the Big and Little Dippers have names across different world civilizations indicating ancient cultural commonalities in astronomical observations.

• Alpha Ursae Majoris (Dubhe) and Beta Ursae Majoris (Merak), which point to Polaris. (Northern Hemisphere)
• Alpha Centauri and Beta Centauri, which point to the Southern Cross. (Southern Hemisphere)

Yes they do. But they're so far away that you can't see the effects of their motion over the duration of a human lifetime.

The Big Dipper is a prominent asterism within the Ursa Major constellation and serves several purposes. It helps with navigation, as its two outer stars point towards Polaris, the North Star. Additionally, it is a cultural symbol, appearing in various myths and stories across different civilizations. The Big Dipper also provides a useful reference for stargazers to locate other constellations and celestial objects in the night sky.

Polaris is located at the end of the handle of the Little Dipper, also known as Ursa Minor. The Big Dipper is part of Ursa Major and does not point directly to Polaris.

The stars themselves do not move. (Well, they do, but so slowly that nobody can notice it over a lifetime.) The stars APPEAR to rise in the east and set in the west because the Earth itself is spinning like a top.

The North Pole Star, Polaris, is positioned - by a fortunate coincidence - directly over the north pole of the Earth's rotation. So Polaris does not appear to move (much). Because of the way the Earth is spinning, the stars near Polaris appear to spin around Polaris! So the big dipper and the little dipper appear to make enormous circles in the sky centered on Polaris, going around once per day.

Merak and Dubhe.

Yes, but it is very low on the horizon, and is only visible during certain seasons.

its in the northern hemisphere

You can find them on most nights depending on the weather and what hemisphere you're in.

It is the last star at the tip of the handle of the Little Dipper. The Big Dipper's first two bowl stars (often called the pointer stars) point towards Polaris, but Polaris is not in the Big Dipper.

"The seven stars" in chinese!

Hagar and her son Ishmael were abandoned in a desert near two hills, Safa and Marwa. They were abandoned by Abraham, Hagar's husband at the time. When they ran out of water Ismael ran back and forward between the two hills looking for water. when he got back empty handed he kicked the floor in disappointment and a spring appeared. This was a reward from god for all his hard work.

The two stars in the front of the bowl of the Big Dipper point to Polaris.

Stars can be as close as a few million kilometers to as far as trillions and trillions of kilometers.

There is no real answer as distance relies on the objects in question and with trillions of objects to compare against, the answers would be of a magnitude far greater than the human brain could comprehend.

No, Polaris (the North Star) is part of the Little Dipper (which is part of the constellation Ursa Minor, "The Little Bear"). Polaris is the bottom-most star in the "handle" of the Little Dipper.

A ship is a water-borne vessel larger than a boat, distinguished from a boat usually by being submersible.
