Open in App
Solution

The Pole star can be located using the Ursa Major constellation, by imagining a line towards the Northern direction connecting two stars present at the end of the bowl. This imaginary line meets Pole Star. The length of the imaginary line from the bowl is about five times the distance between the two stars of the bowl.
