Pole star:

  1. The North Star, also known as Polaris or pole star.
  2. It is famous for remaining nearly stationary in our sky while the entire northern sky revolves around it.
  3. This is due to its proximity to the north celestial pole, the point around which the entire northern sky revolves.
  4. Pole star rises in the north and is thus used to find directions as an indicator.
  5. Polaris points the way north.

Therefore, the pole star indicates the direction to the north.
