What constellation does Polaris belong to?

Belongs to Ursa minor.

Polaris, also known as Beichen and Zixing, refers to the star closest to the North Celestial Pole. At present, it refers to "Gou Chen Yi". Polaris is located at the northern end of the earth's axis, which is five times as long as the extension line connecting Tian Xuan and Shu Tian in the Big Dipper. Because the earth rotates and Polaris is on the axis of celestial rotation, it is still relative to other stars. Polaris is about 323 to 434 light-years away from the earth and has a diameter of about 52 million kilometers.

"Gouchenyi" consists of three celestial bodies: Polaris Aa, Polaris B and Polaris Ab. The main star Polaris A is a huge, bright and yellow Supergiant star. Polaris A is 4.5 times the mass of the sun, and if it is placed with the sun, its brightness is 1260 times that of the sun.

symbolic meaning

It is precisely because the position of the North Pole star is relatively stable and not easy to change, so it gives people a sense of loyalty and has its own position. From the perspective of life, Polaris has the significance of guiding us to our goals, just as it can tell us the direction.

From the perspective of love, Polaris symbolizes firmness, persistence and eternal protection. If it is anthropomorphic, then it must have a commitment to the stars near it, otherwise it will not insist on guarding, such as the moon. Although far away, Polaris is still guarding. So Polaris is firm, symbolizing that it will never change.
