What else can I help you with?
From earth at night the moon appears bright what causes this?
The Sun.
Is polaris a particularly bright star?
No. In fact, Polaris is the dimmest of the 57 stars commonly used for celestial navigation. Except for the happy coincidence that Polaris perches almost precisely above the Earth's north pole, nobody would think anything about it. In fact, we're fortunate that the skies around the north pole are bereft of bright stars. Polaris is relatively easy to find only because there are NO bright stars in that part of the sky.
What appears to revolve around Polaris due to earth's rotation?
Due to the vast distance between the earth and polaris, the earths axis of rotation essentially lines up with polaris at all times, so when the stars are visible, and viewed from the north pole, the earths rotation causes the stars to appear to rotate around polaris.
Does Polaris move when you move on earth?
Yes ! The Polaris Moves Comparatively To Earth !The Position Of The Polaris Is Not Constant .
What places on earth is polaris seen on the horizon?
Where on Earth are you if Polaris is on your horizon?
When Polaris is not the main star will Earth be different and how?
No Earth will not be different, Polaris has no effect on the Earth whatsoever.
Is polaris the nearest star to the earth but not the brightest?
the sun is a star and it isthecloseststar to the earth, not Polaris
Will a bright star be found in the position of the north star?
The North Star currently refers to Polaris, an F7 Supergiant approximately 433 light years from Earth.
How many light years away is Polaris from earth?
The polaris is 430 light years from Earth.
Why is Neptune closer to Earth than Polaris?
because polaris a star
What does earth's axis point towards?
Currently the Earth's pole points toward Polaris in Ursa Minor. 5000 years ago it pointed towards Vega.
What causes the circumpolar stars to appear to move around polaris?
The apparent daily movement of the stars in the sky is a reflection of Earth's rotation. Earth rotates around its axis; as a reflection of this, the entire sky rotates around an "axis", which is simply the extension of Earth's axis. By chance, the star Polaris is almost exactly on the line of the Earth's axis, extended into space. So, as the Earth rotates the stars appear to rotate around Polaris. Circumpolar stars never go below the observer's horizon, so they just seem to go in circles around Polaris.
