Because Polaris is located at exactly North, and is easily located using the pointer stars on the big dipper, and the Sun always rises in east and sets in the west.
Vikings used a tool called a sun compass, which helped them determine the direction of the sun even when it was hidden by clouds. They navigated by the stars using constellations such as the North Star to help them find their way. Additionally, they were skilled at observing natural signs like wind patterns and bird migrations to aid in navigation.
