Question: how do you tell the difference between the big dipper and little dipper?
Answer: Notice that the Big Dipper has two parts, a bowl and a handle. Notice the two outer stars in the bowl of the Big Dipper. They are called Dubhe and Merak, and an imaginary line drawn between them goes to Polaris, the North Star. ... The answer is that, like the Big Dipper, the Little Dipper has seven stars.
