Several methods are used, depending on the distance. For nearer stars, the parallax method is used: Sine Earth moves around the Sun, the direction of the star, against the background, changes. This method, of course, requires precise measurement of the parallax (of this angular change), as well as knowledge of the distance between the Sun and Earth.
i can't belive you dont know how far salm the star is, WOW. I won't tell you.
i don't know,but look on Answers.com it as "good" answers =D
this question does not make sense. the earth is in space.......
A synonym for distant would be far and a burning ball of gas in space is a star.
I don't think there is such a star. If you mean the ecliptic, that's not a star - it is the plane of Earth's orbit.
Eridanus is a constellation - not a single star
76590754.56km
It is 196 light years far from the earth. In fact Adhil(Arabic name) is a binary star in the Andromeda constellation.
102 light years from earth
the most well known star in the UK is the sun however it is the earth's well known star as well. There might be life in space more than planet earth thinking that another star is the most popular I am probity wrong but I could be wrong. The most well known star on planet earth so far is the sun!
Evan if a star burned out you wouldn't be able to tell from earth only because how ever many light years away it is its how many years back in time your seeing it at, because it is so far away in space. FOR EXAMPLE if a star was 1200 light years away your looking at it from earth 1200 years ago because it takes the light a long time to travel from space to earth.
