Not if you stay at the same place to observe it.
If you pick a star and observe it from the same place every night, you'll see it rise from the
same exact spot on the horizon every night, but about 4 minutes earlier each night than on
the previous night.

∙ 13y agoAt the poles, the stars do not rise or set, they stay at the same altitude all night (six months). At the equator, they start at the Eastern horizon, pass overhead and set at the Western horizon. Simplified but more or less accurate.

∙ 11y agoPick a star that reaches its highest point in the sky at midnight tonight.
Midnight is the moment when your back is to the sun.
Six months from now, when we are on the other side of the sun, that star
will be behind the sun, and it'll reach its highest point in the sky at Noon.
The reason stars and constellations reach the same position at different times
on different dates is because we set our clocks to match the position of the sun,
but as we travel around it, the sun is in the direction of different stars.

In the northern hemisphere there are some stars that do not appear to rise or set as other stars do These stars are?
Circumpolar stars. In the northern hemisphere, the north star does not rise or set; the north pole is always pointing toward it. The canopy of stars moves around the north star over the course of a day, giving the apparent rising in the east and setting in the west of most stars as the canopy dips below and moves above the horizon. The stars that are close enough to the north star never set. The part of the canopy that is visible at night changes over the course of a year.
What percentage of the stars visible from earth can be seen from the equator?
haha are you doing the night sky lab? It looks like 100 percent to me
Which horizon the sun rise over?
The sun rises in the east.
Where is the sun during the longest shadow?
Just over the horizon.
What range of azimuth would include all the locations on the horizon at which stars can rise?
Tricky question when you think about it.There's a patch of stars around the celestial pole that are "circumpolar" ... a kind ofmisleading term that's used to indicate that they don't rise or set, they're always up.The angular radius of the circumpolar region (the altitude of the pole in your sky)is equal to your latitude, and it's also the range of azimuth on your northern orsouthern horizon where no stars rise or set.So we're going to say this: Stars can rise or set anywhere on the horizon ... atazimuths from zero to 360 degrees,excepta space either side of the sub-polar point on your horizon (north horizon in the northern hemisphere, south horizon in the southern hemisphere) equal to yourlatitude, on each side.So, in the northern hemisphere, the answer is:All azimuths between (your latitude) and (360 minus your latitude).In the southern hemisphere, the answer is:All azimuths between (zero) and (180 minus your latitude), or between (180 plus your latitude) and (360).==========================================Epilogue:Looking back over this presentation, the same contributor is suddenlyovercome by a deep conviction that it's baloney. But I'm tired. MaybeI'll come back and fix it. In the meantime, don't use it on a bar bet.
When did Over Horizon happen?
Over Horizon happened in 1993.
When was Over Horizon created?
Over Horizon was created on 1991-04-26.
How you use horizon in a sentence?
The sun sets over the horizon.
How do you use the word horizon in a sentences?
My goal is just over the horizon.
Why do stars move places?
If you are talking about on a particular night, it is because the Earth is turning. If you are talking about over the course of a few months, that is because the Earth is orbiting the Sun, so we are looking at stars from a different location. Stars themselves are moving in space too, but they are so far away, we don't notice this.
Do city lights loom or lume over the horizon?
It is "loom." There is no word "lume" but if there were, it would be perfect for light from over the horizon.
Can you give a sentence with the word horizon?
The sun rose gently over the eastern horizon.
How do the stars locations change over time?
All the stars and the Sun are moving through space in different directions and at different speeds. Over long times (to a person) they change their positions in the sky and the constellations change.

What is an Ocean Liner?
Like the airliner carries passengers to different places; the ocean liner is a ship, that carries passengers to different places, over the ocean.
Are stars all the same size?
No, stars come in many different sizes, masses and densities. Further, a star will change its size over its lifespan.
