Short Answer Type Question.
What is the Pole Star? How can the Saptarishi be used to locate it?

Answer 1

The Pole Star is the star that is known to retain its position in the sky always. We can locate the position of the Pole Star with the help of the constellation Saptarishi. If an imaginary line is drawn joining the "pointer stars" of the Saptarishi and extended further, it will point to the Pole Star.
In the Fig. Shown here, $1$ and $2$ represent the "pointer stars". The Pole Star and the pointer stars lie on the same line.
