Where on earth can you observe all the stars in the sky over an entire year?

Theoretically, you would need to be at the equator. However, from the equator you would never see the north star Polaris, because the haze of the atmosphere prevents you from seeing things within a degree or so of the horizon.

you need to be on the equator.

∙ 14y agowe are talking about visible stars of course.
The earth has its axis inclined 23' to the ecliptic, so you would have to be within 23' latitude of the equator, either side.

Are constellations always in the same part of the sky?
No - as Earth rotates the stars and constellations seem to move. Also, as Earth orbits the sun over the course of a year, the stars we see at night in the winter are different than the stars we see at night in the summer. Same with Spring and Fall.
Can you predict the movement of the stars?
It's pretty easy. They move west at approximately 15 degrees per hour. Outside of that (which is a result of Earth's rotation, not an actual movement of the stars), most stars don't move appreciably over a human lifetime.
From ancient times before they were explained scientifically what were the prevailing theories about the existence of stars?
In ancient times, there were several prevailing theories about the existence of stars. While some tribes believed the stars were Gods, others considered them spirits of the deceased. Some tribes also believed that the stars were their ancestors that were watching over them on earth.
What is the main affect the moon has on earth?
The moon stabilizes earth tilt on its axis. Without this the earth's north pole would deviate back and forth over thousands of years. It would even go as far as rolling over 90 degrees causing the entire southern hemisphere to freeze while creating jungles in Antarctica
How the apparent change of positoin of constellations over time provides evidences of earth revolution around the sun?
The constellations don't move but individual stars move forward and back (apparently) as the Earth travels round the Sun. The movement, called Parallax, is tiny and it was not discovered until 1838. Parallax can be measured only for a few 'nearby' stars.
How do you prove that the earth moves?
Build a very large pendulum and set it in motion. Then observe, think and explain what you observe over the course of a day.
Which star is opposite to earth?
There is no specific "opposite" to Earth. The Earth is a sphere: it has no front or back. In addition, the Earth is continually spinning. If you were to go outside at night and look at the stars over time, you will notice the stars are moving.
How many years will the Hubble Space Telescope observe over the entire sky of 100 billion galaxies since the Hubble Ultra Deep Field is roughly one ten-millionth of the sky?
It would take at least 1,000,000 years for the Hubble Space Telescope to observe over the entire sky of 100 billion galaxies in the universe.
What does a person must observe in order to describe the apparent daily motion of the stars?
the position of one star relative to the horizon over a period of time. :)
Where does the greenhouse effect occur?
Over the entire earth. This is why it is known as global warming.
The apparent path of the stars over the course of a single night is caused by?
It is caused by the earth's rotation.
Why do stars and constallations change location over the course of one night?
This is a simple one to answer. The Earth rotates and as it rotates, the stars seem to move across the sky.
Why the star move relative to earth and fixed relative to each other?
This is an illusion due to the vast distances between the stars and the Earth's spin. The stars themselves are moving quite quickly, the Earth spinning on it's axis only adds to this cosmic slight of hand by turning under them. The movement of the stars is over vast distances greater than you can imagine. Always remember, most of the movement observed is the Earth moving not the stars. Our eyes simply cannot detect it over the vast light years.

Can you show us the asteroid belt?
If you get the opportunity to observe through a large telescope then you may be able to see some of the larger asteroids in the belt. However this takes time, over a few nights as one mist observe the asteroids moving against the background of fixed stars. Usually astronomer use photographs to observe these movements.
What do we observe when the earth's shadow falls over the moon?
A Solar Eclipse, depending where you are in relation to the shadow, depends on whether you see a total Eclipse or a partial.
Can Nuclear weapons destroy the entire earth?
yes and no depending on how much nuclear bombs it can start a ice age like the asteroid that hit earth so its not enough to destroy the earth
