How many constellations are circumpolar?
There's no answer to this question, because the definition of circumpolar depends on where you are. If you're at the pole, all the constellations you can see are circumpolar. If you're on the equator, there are no circumpolar constellations.
Where on Earth could you see all the constellations rise and set?
You can see all the constellations rise and set from the equator. This is because the Earth's rotation axis is perpendicular to the line connecting the Earth to the Sun at the equator, allowing for a full view of the celestial sphere over the course of a year.
At the Equator you can see all constellations?
At the Equator, you can see all the constellations over the course of a year because you are situated at the midpoint between the northern and southern celestial hemispheres. This means that the entire night sky is visible to an observer at the Equator as the Earth rotates on its axis.
Why cannot see all constellations?
If you were on the Equator you would see all of them. Otherwise it depends where you live. I live in New Zealand at latitude 35° S. So I can't see any northern stars closer than 35° to the North Celestial Pole. If you live in the north at say 35°N, then you wouldn't see those stars which are closer than 35° to the South Celestial Pole.
What constellations would you see in the northern hemisphere?
In the northern hemisphere, you would be able to see constellations such as Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Cassiopeia, Draco, and Orion. These constellations are visible at different times of the year and are easily recognizable in the northern sky.
What constellations aren't in our galaxy?
All the constellations that we see, and there are 88 of them, are all in our galaxy, the Milky Way.
Why does the number of circumpolar constellations depend on latitude?
Circumpolar Constellations are those that appear to circle the North Star, Polaris. Polaris' place in the sky changes based on the viewers latitude. The closer you get to the North Pole, the higher in the sky Polaris appears, and therefore the more constellations appear to spin around Polaris.
What are a few facts about constellations?
there are 88 constellations. you can see them all in a year on the equator. most of them are from Greek mythology. Whenever a new star is discovered, it is added to the constellation it is nearest to.
Which constellations can you see from New Zealand?
Almost all of them.
How many constelations are there in our solar system?
There are no constellations in our solar system. All constellations you see are outside our solar system.
What is the equator and which countries are on the equator?
The Equator is and invisible line the goes around the middle of the earth,if you are close to the equator it is realy hot The equator is eqidistant from the North and South Poles, and passes thru countries all around the world. Look at any globe to see them all.
How many constellations can be in a galaxy?
Constellations are not real, they are merely patterns of stars we see from our point of view. All of the constellations we see are part of the Milky way Galaxy and so are 10 billion other stars we can't see with the naked eye.
