Stars rise and set at night much like the sun does during the day due to the rotation of the earth on its axis.
Observing the fixed position of the stars relative to the moon on any given night suggests that rotation of the earth around its axis is smooth and consistent suggesting strongly that the rotation at the observers latitude is in a circular motion about this axis.
Repeating this observation from many latitudes you could infer that the earth is roughly spherical in shape.
What else can I help you with?
What are planets and stars?
Spherical
What shape are stars in the galaxy?
All stars are approximately spherical.
What shape are planets and stars?
Spherical
What is the true shape of stars?
Stars are distant suns, which are roughly spherical in shape.
Why are stars pointy?
Stars appear pointy due to atmospheric distortion when viewed from Earth. The Earth's atmosphere causes light from stars to bend and twinkle, making them seem to twinkle and appear pointy. In reality, stars are spherical in shape like our own sun.
Why stars are in the shape of a star?
They are not star-shaped. Stars are actually spherical due to gravity.
How did Aristotle conclude that the Earth was spherical?
He believed that all Earthy matter was drawn to the centre of the Earth, so a sphere was the natural shape. He noticed that during lunar eclipses, the Earth's shadow was round and he noticed that when you go North or South a long ways, the stars that you can see change.
Do stars provide heat?
Yes, but apart from the Sun, the stars are too far away for their heat to affect Earth.
Why did Aristotle thought the earth was spherical?
Aristotle believed the Earth was spherical for several reasons, including observations of the horizon, where ships appear to sink as they sail away, and the circular shadow the Earth casts on the Moon during a lunar eclipse. He also noted that travelers going south see different stars, suggesting a curved surface. Additionally, he argued that the Earth is the center of the universe, and a sphere is the most perfect shape, aligning with his belief in the ideal forms of nature. These observations collectively supported his conclusion of a spherical Earth.
What the true of shape of star?
Stars are spherical just like our Sun
What is a tight group of stars that look like a ball called?
A spherical cluster.
Why does earth get energy from sun and not other stars?
The sun is the only star close enough to provide Earth with any significant amount of energy. The amount of light reaches Earth from other stars is just enough so that we can see them.
