The Pole Star Indicates the Direction to The 

(1) South 

(2) North 

(3) East

Answer- North

In astronomy, a star is a celestial body composed of extremely hot gases that emit energy in the form of radiation. This energy is produced by thermonuclear reactions occurring deep within the star.

The direction in which a compass needle points is referred to as the “north” direction. “North” refers to “the cardinal compass point that is at 0 or 360 degrees.”

As a result, north is the correct direction, given that the axis of the earth’s north points in the direction of the pole star. The term “pole star” refers to the star located in the sky directly above the North Pole and is currently known as Polaris but was formerly known as Thuban.

The direction described as “the cardinal compass point that is at 180 degrees” is referred to as “south.”

As a result, the south is not the correct direction because the axis that runs through the south does not point toward the pole star.

The direction labelled “East” on a compass refers to “the cardinal compass point at 90 degrees.”

Since the pole star is aligned with the north rather than the east, the direction “East” cannot be correct.

So, the correct answer is North.

The brightest star in the constellation Ursa Minor, the Pole star, is located at the tip of the Little Dipper’s handle. The direction that the earth’s northern axis faces is in the Pole Star’s direction.
