What is the usage of north star or polaris?
The usage of the north star, or Polaris, is to find which way you are facing. If you are facing in the direction of it, you are facing north. If you are facing the opposite direction of the north star, you are facing south. If you are facing left of the north star, you are facing east. If you are facing right of the north star, you are facing west.
Where is sunrise if you are facing south?
To your right. That is correct, but how did you reason that out? Think of the compass. If you stand facing north, then east would be on your right and west would be on your left and you would be facing away from south. So, turn east toward the rising sun, now south is on your right, north is to your left and you are facing away from west. Same works for the setting sun (in the west). Face the setting sun, now north is on your right. Sounds complicated. The way I remember it is to put my right hand toward the rising sun. That way I am facing north--every time. Check it out with a compass.
