Size of Stars Stars differ in size. Some stars have diameters of only 20 km. These stars are very much smaller than the earth. Our sun is just a medium-sized star. Many stars are much larger than the sun. Astronomers classify according to size. Supergiants are the largest known stars. The star Antares has a diameter 330 times that of the sun. The sun has a diameter of 1 392 000 km. Some supergiants have diameters about 1000 times of the sun. Giants are stars with diameters from 10 to 100 times that of the sun. The star Aldebaran is a giant with a diameter about 45 times that of the sun. Medium-sized stars are about the size of the sun. Their diameters range from 139 200 km to 13 920 000 km. Sirius is a medium-sized star. White dwarfs are small stars with diameters of less than 10 000 km. The smallest white dwarf is Van Maanen's star with a diameter of 8370 km.
The star cluster called Pleiades is also known as the Seven Sisters. It's scientific name is Messier 45, is in the constellation Taurus and the closest star cluster to Earth. The cluster is also called Maia Nebula, after one of the stars.
I, personally, would take the old .45 S&W Magnum, point it straight up, and empty all the bullets. RE-LOAD and repeat.
In 1896 our new flag had 45 stars with the admission of Utah. When Oklahoma joined the USA in 1907 we added another star for a total of 46 stars in 1908. So, in 1900 there were 45 stars on the flag of the United States of America.
45 stars Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Hawaii were not yet states.
Between July 4, 1891 and July 4, 1896, the adoption of a new American flag, there were 44 stars on the flag, after the adoption of Wyoming into the union. The stars are arranged 8 7 7 7 7 8 from top to bottom.
The US flag changed several times in the 1800s as more and more states joined the union. In 1818, the flag had 20 stars and 13 stripes. In 1819, the flag had 21 stars. In 1820 it had 23 stars, in 1822 it had 24 stars, and in 1896 it had 45 stars.
Arizona and New Mexico were not admitted to the union until 1912, so the flag should show 46 stars. But I've just seen a 1910 photo of some boys and girls sitting in the bleachers, representing the 1910 flag, and I counted just 45 stars. It's a puzzlement!
There were 45 stars on the American flag in 1906. The 45th state was Utah being admitted into the union in 1896. The 46th state to be admited was Oklahoma in 1907.
If you mean stars in the US flag, 45 states were state when he entered office and one more became a state while he was in office. They don't always update the flag as soon as a state was included in the union so it may have still had 45 stars when he finished his last term.
When McKinley was president, from 1896 until he was assassinated in 1901, there were 45 states in the union - resulting in 45 stars on the U.S. flag. The next one wouldn't be added until the addition of Oklahoma in 1907.
it looked cool with 48 stars and 13 stripes.
There is not now, nor has there ever been such thing as the 'American' flag. Continents do not have flags. Each country has its own. Should you mean the US flag then see the related question below.
It depends on the time period of the flag. At first there were 13 stars on the flag: one for each state. As more states jointed the union, a star was added. Now there are 50 states, so there are 50 stars.
48.Arizona is the 48th state. Congress admitted it to the Union in February 1912. There were 48 states until 1959 when Alaska and Hawaii were added.
