The correct answer is D. Ursa Minor’s pole star and Polaris are the names of the same star.<\/p>\n
Polaris is the brightest star in the constellation Ursa Minor, the Little Bear. It is also known as the North Star because it lies very close to the north celestial pole, the point in the sky directly above Earth’s North Pole. As Earth rotates on its axis, the stars appear to move across the sky in a circular pattern. Polaris is the only star that remains in the same position in the sky, and it can be used to find north.<\/p>\n
Ursa Minor is a circumpolar constellation, which means that it is always visible in the night sky from Earth’s Northern Hemisphere. It is also known as the Little Bear or the Little Dipper. The constellation is made up of seven stars, the brightest of which is Polaris.<\/p>\n
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the relationship between Ursa Minor, Polaris, and the north celestial pole.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
