Here's why:
* Our Solar System: Consists of the Sun and all the celestial objects that orbit around it, including planets, moons, asteroids, comets, etc.
* Stars: Massive, luminous balls of plasma that produce their own light and heat through nuclear fusion. They are located far beyond our Solar System.
Polaris is a star, just like our Sun, but it's located many light-years away from us. It's not gravitationally bound to our Sun and doesn't orbit it.
Therefore, the North Star is not a part of our Solar System, but a star in its own right, located in a different part of the Milky Way galaxy.
