The Big Dipper is an asterism, not a constellation, and its stars are part of the Ursa Major constellation. The stars that make up the Big Dipper are mostly main sequence stars, like Dubhe and Merak. Main sequence stars are stars like our Sun that are fusing hydrogen into helium in their cores.
The bowl of the Big Dipper is formed by four stars: Dubhe, Merak, Phecda, and Megrez. The handle of the Big Dipper consists of three stars: Alioth, Mizar, and Alkaid.
The bowl of the Big Dipper is made up of four stars.
The Big Dipper consists of several stars. Stars are the hottest thing there is.
The Little Dipper, also known as Ursa Minor, has seven main stars that form its shape. These stars are much fainter than the stars in the Big Dipper, but they are still visible in the night sky.

Probaly none. The only possible "famous" star is Alioth.The main stars are:-DubheMerakPhecdaMegrezAliothMizarAlkaid
because when he looked at the sky he saw the stars he connected the stars and he connected one and he called it big dipper because he was the first one to discover the big dipper.
The Big Dipper is known in the Northern Hemisphere as The Plough(Plow.American spelling) as the main Stars in the constellation resemble an ancient ploughing farm machine
Stars
The seven primary stars in the Big Dipper are Dubhe, Merak, Phecda, Megrez, Alioth, Mizar, and Alkaid.
It is the last star at the tip of the handle of the Little Dipper. The Big Dipper's first two bowl stars (often called the pointer stars) point towards Polaris, but Polaris is not in the Big Dipper.
The Big Dipper is made up of several stars, and these, of course, can and do move.
