What else can I help you with?
Why can you not see the constellations in daylight hours?
During the day, sunlight is much brighter than the light from stars, making it difficult to see the dimmer constellations. The scattered light in the Earth's atmosphere also hinders visibility of stars during daylight hours.
Why can't you the constellations at daylight hours?
Because the sun is up - our atmosphere scatters the sun's light, drowning out the stars.
Is it possible to see any stars at night time in northern Scotland during June and July - since it stays light nearly all night?
Yes, it is still possible to see some stars in northern Scotland during June and July, even though it stays light for longer hours. However, the visibility may be limited due to twilight and the extended daylight hours during this period. You may have better chances of seeing stars during the darkest hours around midnight.
Why are constellations not seen during the daytime?
During the daytime, the brightness of the sun overwhelms the comparatively dim light from the stars that make up constellations, making them impossible to see. The scattering of sunlight in the Earth's atmosphere also diminishes the contrast between the stars and the sky, further obscuring the visibility of constellations during daylight hours.
Why stars are only seen at night?
Whether during the day or the night, stars are still there in the sky. It is that in daylight, it is impossible to see the stars and the moon due to the glare from the sky. Only during the darkness of night does stars and the moon becomes visible to the human eyes.
What can be observed by earths rotation on its axis?
The passage of the sun across the sky during daylight, and the stars circling round the axis during darkness.
Are telescopes only used at night?
No. They are generally used to look at stars at night, because that's when it's easiest to see them. But some telescopes are used at sea and there's also a type of telescope called a radio-telescope that searches the stars for radio waves during daylight hours.
It cause stars to move apparently in one night?
The rotation of the Earth makes the stars appear to move in a circle, as viewed from the observer's position. The stars are always there, it is just that we can't see them during daylight.
Why other stars than the Sun are seen only at night and not during daytime?
The illumination of the sky during daylight is much brighter than that of most stars. But, if you know EXACTLY where to look, you can (with your eyes or a telescope) see some bright stars during parts of the day when the Sun is not too high in the sky.
Why do stars that are seen at night seem to disappear during daylight hours?
Stars are still present during the day, but the brightness of the Sun overwhelms their faint light, making them impossible to see. The blue sky also scatters sunlight, further dimming the stars' appearance. This makes it difficult for our eyes to pick out their relatively dim light against the much brighter background of the sky.
Why can you sometimes see the moon in the day and not the stars?
You can see the moon during the day because it reflects sunlight and is bright enough to be visible against the blue sky. The stars, on the other hand, are much fainter and typically outshone by the sun's light during the day, making them difficult to see. The moon's position in the sky also plays a role; it can be in a part of the sky where it's visible during daylight hours. Thus, while the moon can be seen, the stars remain hidden due to the overwhelming brightness of the sun.
Why stars are not seen in daylight?
Because.. the light from the Sun is far too bright to allow stars to be seen.
