Are constellations different in each season?
because during the summer the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun and the southern hemisphere is tilted away. this tilt of our planet is about 21 degrees and shows us different views of the night sky as we tilt back a forth with the seasons. So in the winter you would see a lower portion of the sky and in the summer you are seeing a higher portion of the sky. You will be able to see many of the same constellations (called circumpolar constellations since they are near the poles and can seen year round) but constellations closer to the horizon and closer to the equator will change
Why cannot see all constellations?
If you were on the Equator you would see all of them. Otherwise it depends where you live. I live in New Zealand at latitude 35° S. So I can't see any northern stars closer than 35° to the North Celestial Pole. If you live in the north at say 35°N, then you wouldn't see those stars which are closer than 35° to the South Celestial Pole.
Is there anymore hidden zodiac constellation?
There is one zodiac constellation that is not included in the traditional zodiac calendar. That constellation is Ophiuchus, and it lies between Scorpius and Sagittarius. This means there are 13 zodiac constellations. Constellations cannot be "hidden," so to speak. They are a fabrication of the human mind and would not exist elsewhere in the universe as we see them on Earth. Currently, we have 88 constellations (some of which are Northern hemisphere constellations, others of which are Southern hemisphere constellations) and their boundaries (constellations are not just the stars that make up a shape, but every celestial object in a defined region in the sky) fill the entire sky.
What are the 4 constellations you can see in the summer?
you can eat chicken
Why are the constellations seen as in the summer sky different than those in the winter sky?
The winter night sky is the opposite direction from the summer night sky. The constellations you see in winter are on the other side of the sun in summer, so you would only see them in summer during a total solar eclipse.
Why do the constellations change its position?
The Earth moves on it axis, West to East. As the Earth moves, you see different parts of space so therefor see different constellations. Hope it answered your question!!
Why can't people in the north hemisphere see all constellations throughout the year?
It is because of the rotation and revolution of the Earth's axis.The Earth goes to one side of its orbit this causes the other constellations to be blocked by the sun. The change in location makes other constellations out of sight. The Earth goes away from these constellations that's why we can't see them.
Where does the earth have to be in order to see constellations?
The earth's position has no affect on constellations' visibility. The position of the viewer on the surface of the earth will affect what constellations are visible.
Why and how constellations appear in the sky?
because you can alny see the sun in the mornning
The change of the constellations' appearance in the sky from month to month is due to?
This is due to Earth traveling around the Sun... it takes a year for this to happen. Which is why you see the same constellations in the sky the same time every year.
Why do you see different constellations in different areas of the sky during different seasons?
You see different constellation because the constellations stay in place, but Earth moves so every season you are able to see different constellations.
Why do we see different constellations every season?
The stars and planets are observed from the earth, and because the earth is rotating and tilting on its axis, and is also orbiting the sun, the stars and planets appear to be moving in relation to the observers view.
Why you see different constellations of stars during a year?
the earth's rotation
Why do stars and constellations change location over the course of one night?
Like watching the buildings go by as you ride the carousel, you are riding the Earth as it spins. The constellations don't move; the Earth does. Actually, each star IS moving - it's just that they are so far away that it would take several lifetimes to notice any difference. We humans don't live long enough! We see the constellations as they are now, but if you had a time machine and could jump several THOUSAND years into the future, you would see that every star had moved in different directions, and that the constellations were distorted.
Can you see the same constellations from the surface of the moon that we see from earth?
yeah but they wont be in the same orientation
How does the big dipper change with the seasons?
From the viewpoint of the Earth, all the constellations 'revolve' around Polaris (the North star. As the Earth orbits the sun, its relative position to the constellations changes - and they appear to move across the night-sky.
Do people from other cultures on Earth see the same stars constellations and asterisms that you see?
yes the see the same thing
