North Star this, North Star that, is the north star even IN our solar system?
Answered by GPT-4o mini
The North Star, also known as Polaris, is not part of our solar system. Polaris is located about 433 light-years away from Earth and is a part of the Milky Way galaxy. Our solar system consists of the Sun and the celestial bodies that are bound to it by gravity, including the planets, moons, asteroids, and comets. Polaris is a separate star in a different part of the galaxy, positioned nearly directly above the North Pole, which is why it is often used for navigation in the Northern Hemisphere.
