How is it possible to tell that a point of light in the sky is actually two stars rather than one?
Telescopes have aided scientists a lot in determining whether a star is binary or not. The visual binaries can be seen through a telescope or even high powered binoculars. Observing the spectral light of a star can aid in determining whether it is binary. Eclipsing binaries give themselves away by the variability of their light.
What are stars called that wink?
The Earth's atmosphere, which is always moving, makes stars appear to be twinkling. A star that really is 'winking' is most likely an eclipsing binary star - two stars orbiting each other.
Why no websites tell us why binary is invented?
Binary system is invented to allow its use for computers where "on" is for one and "off" is for zero. So, numbers could be easily identified by the computers.
What can you tell as a conclusion to binary trees?
conclusion about binary tree
How can astronomers tell whether there is a unseen second star In a system?
Because of perturbations within the observed star.
How do astronomers tell if a star is binary or has planets?
a way to tell if a star has planets is to observe a wobble in its position. i.e when a planet orbits a star it pulls at it making the star move slightly in its direction. when seen from far away it looks like the star is moving back and forth. This is a very rough explanation and can no doubt be improved upon.
What is coding system in computer?
Coding is another name for programming. To get a computer to do what you want, it has to be told what to do. Programs tell it what to do, and it takes programmers (coders) to write the programs.
Is it easier to measure the mass of single stars or binary stars?
It really goes case by case. Some single stars are so massive and large that its very easy to determine its mass. Same goes for single stars of far less mass in our neck of the woods in our galaxy(within 300 light years) While determining the mass of multiple star systems get tricky, while its easy to determine the mass of nearby binary star systems such as Alpha Centauri system and the Cappella System. but sometimes its very tricky when the primary star in a system is many times larger then their counterparts. for example we know that Polaris (North Star) has 2 smaller companions and we even have rough estimates of their orbits. but since Polaris A is so large and massive its hard to tell the mass of its smaller compatriots.
What do the orbits of binary stars tell about stars?
Binary stars are very useful for determining the mass of the stars and thus any objects orbiting around them.
How do you get unlimited stamina on Star Wars battlefront 2?
Go to Gamewinners.com and then to cheat code archive, click on whatever system you have, and then click on 's' for star wars. it will tell you.
Why or why not can all numbers be represented in a binary system?
All numbers can be represented in a binary number system. Binary is the base 2 number system, meaning that there 2 possible values per place: 0 and 1. A decimal system allows for 10: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. In a decimal system, you carry out and add a space once you pass 9. Thus, you end up with a 1 in the second place and a 0 in the first. The first space then counts up again. Similarly, a binary system adds a place when it reaches 2. In a decimal system, there are 10x numbers which can be represented by a system with x places. In binary, there are 2x possible numbers. If the number of places is infinite, an infinite number of values can be represented. Negative numbers can be represented in a variety of ways, from a dash as is commonly used in decimal to a 2's complement to a sign bit (i.e. a 1 or a 0 which will tell the reader or the machine the sign of the number).
Are there stars bigger than your whole solar system?
The largest star that we know of a is a red hypergiant, named VY Canis Majoris. The size of this star extends to what would be the orbit of Saturn, this is about 1,433,449,370 kilometers. The possiblity of a star being larger then our entire solar system doesn't seem probable, but we have no way of observing every star in the universe to tell. There must be a star somwhere that is large enough to envelope our solar system, but as of now we don't know of any.
