How do shooting stars travel so fast if there is no gravity?
Although shooting stars are not affected by the Earth's gravity, they are still pulled by other planets and stars. All of the shooting stars visible on Earth orbit the sun, just like the earth itself.
Are the stars still visible in their original position?
yes, the stars are still visible in the original position
Are the stars visible at 7pm still visible at 11pm in their original position why is this so?
No, the stars visible at 7 PM are not in the same position at 11 PM due to the Earth's rotation. As the Earth rotates on its axis, stars appear to move across the night sky, changing their positions relative to an observer. This apparent motion is a result of the Earth's rotation, causing stars to rise in the east and set in the west over the course of several hours.
When the moon is in between the Sun and the Earth blocking any light from reaching Earth?
The total eclipse of the Sun by the Earth's Moon still leaves a corona of light, and the other visible stars shine just as brightly.
Some stars might no longer be in existence but you still see them in the night sky why?
Stars that are no longer in existence, or dead stars, may be still visible in the night sky depending on how far away the star was from earth. Light takes time to travel, so if a star is 50 billion lightyears away from earth, and it died 25 billion years ago, due to the amount of time it takes for the light to reach our eyes, the star's light will still be visible for another 25 billion years.
Are shooting stars moving?
ok. first of all, if they were still, would they "shoot"? no. shooting stars move. "meteors" travel quite fast, that's whay you onl see them for a split second
Are the stars visible 7 pm still visible at 11 pm in their original position why do you see so?
Yes, relative to more distant stars, their position will not have changed. See should be changed to stay in the question.
How do stars shine on a cloudy night?
Stars shine on a cloudy night because their light is very bright and can penetrate through the clouds. Even though clouds can block some of the starlight, enough of it gets through to be visible to us on Earth. The brightest stars are still visible even on a cloudy night.
Why is the moon still visible during the day?
The moon is still visible during the day because of its position in relation to the Earth and the Sun. The moon reflects sunlight, making it visible even when the sun is also in the sky.
What are the brightest stars in Southwest Iowa?
That will depend on the time of year. At this time of year, April, the constellations that are visible than at other times of the year. In the early evening you should still be able to see Sirius, the brightest of all stars in the night sky, as seen from earth. Other easily visible constellations at this time of year are Leo and Virgo. The planet Saturn can be seen close to Leo at present. Go to the website at the link below, and enter your location and it will tell you what you can see from where you are.
How do stars shine on the cloudy nights?
Stars shine by emitting light due to the process of nuclear fusion in their cores. Clouds in the sky do not block this light, allowing stars to still be visible on cloudy nights. The light from stars is able to penetrate through the clouds and reach our eyes, making them visible even when clouds are present.
If earth had no atmosphere would comets still be visible from its surface?
Yes. Comets do not enter the atmosphere of the earth (we hope!). What you see is gasses that are released from the comet, illuminated by the sun. However, a meteor (shooting star) is visible only due to the atmosphere heating the meteor.
