Why are Stars are brighter when they are seen from the moon?
No atmosphere (air) that dims the light from the stars.No atmosphere (air) that dims the light from the stars.No atmosphere (air) that dims the light from the stars.No atmosphere (air) that dims the light from the stars.
Why don't stars twinkle from the moon?
Stars do not twinkle from the moon because the moon does not have an atmosphere like the Earth does. The twinkling of stars is caused by the light from the stars passing through the Earth's atmosphere and being distorted by the movement of air currents. Since the moon lacks an atmosphere, the light from the stars does not twinkle when viewed from its surface.
Without an atmosphere would there be light all the time?
AnswerThe light comes to us from the sun, moon and stars.Without an atmosphere, there would still be light from the sun during daylight hours. The stars are not visible during the daytime because the light from the sun is scattered through the atmosphere and conceals the much fainter light of the stars, so without an atmosphere the stars would be visible both day and night. The moon reflects light to us from the sun, and would continue to do so even without an atmosphere.
Why some stars are twinkling not others?
Stars themselves do not twinkle, what gives the appearance of twinkling , is the light passing through our atmosphere, different layers have different temperature's, this makes the light oscillate, much like in a heat haze you think the road has water on it but it doesn't.
What causes the distortion of the light from stars that mean we see them twinkling?
The distortion of light from stars, causing them to twinkle, is due to the turbulence in Earth's atmosphere. As light passes through the varying densities of the atmosphere, it gets refracted in different directions, leading to the twinkling effect. Telescopes on high mountains or in space, above most of the atmosphere, can reduce this effect.
Why stars seen to twinkle?
That`s because of small disturbances in the earths atmosphere. Planets don`t twinkle because their light is stronger, whereas the light of stars is weak enough to have their light slightly bent by the moving atmosphere.
Does Saturn make any light?
No. Planets do not produce light, only stars (such as the sun) can. The light from the stars (sun) reflect off the surface of the planet or the gasses in its atmosphere.
Can UV light from stars reach through your atmosphere?
Yes, most of the UV radiation from stars is blocked by Earth's atmosphere. However, some UV light does reach the surface, which is why we still receive UV radiation from the Sun. This is why we need protection like sunscreen to prevent damage from UV radiation.
Are stars twinkling?
The light passes through our atmosphere; this atmosphere changes all the time. Small changes in density will change the index of refraction, and change the direction of the light; that's what we see as twinkling.
Why does light pollution stops us from seeing the stars?
Too much excess lighting sends light up into the atmosphere, which scatters the light back to the Earth drowning out all the many celestial objects which there are to see.
Why can't we see the stars when we are facing the sun?
Sunlight scattered by the atmosphere masks the much dimmer light from the stars.
Why stars changes their light?
Stars do not "change their light" as you put it, it is the atmosphere of our planet fogging it up like heat above a radiator making the star appear to "change its light"
