Outside the solar system. There is only one star inside the solar system.
All of the others are outside of it.
With algebraic notation, we are able to derive a rigorous mathematical proof
to substantiate the hypothesis stated above:
Let "N" be the total number of stars. We know from field observation that N>>>2 .
Now, (again from field data), the number of stars within the solar system is equal to '1',
from which it follows that the number of stars outside the solar system is equal to [ N - 1 ].
Since 'N' is a positive integer greater than 2, it is apparent that [ N-1 > 1 ],
whence we may conclude, in words, that the number of stars outside the solar system
significantly exceeds the number within it.

∙ 13y agoThe brightest star in the sky is the sun, as it is by far the closest. The next brightest after this is Sirus, then Canopus, Arcturus, Vega and Rigel rounding off the top six.
This is apparent magnitude - how bright they appear to us from earth.
Absolute magnitude is how bright they would be from a standard distance. This would be a different list of stars, topped by a blue hyper giant called R136a1, one of the hottest and the most massive star yet found.

∙ 14y agoThe most common type of star is a red dwarf. These are small or medium sized star that is relatively cool. These stars' light is so dim that the naked eye cannot see them. The ones you actually do see are the biggest and brightest stars which are less common. These are much easier for your eye to spot unaided because they are so big and bright.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoGood question, but we may not know the answer. It seems likely that the small red dwarf stars and even smaller brown dwarf stars may be the most populous. However, these stars are so dim, that they are difficult to see even in large telescopes!

∙ 7y agoThe brightest star as seen from Earth ... other than the Sun ... is Sirius (Alpha Canis Majoris). At 25 times the intrinsic luminosity of the Sun, Sirius is bright, but not strikingly so; it just happens to be really close to us as astronomical distances go (less than 3 parsecs). If Eta Carinae, one of the brightest known stars in the Milky Way galaxy, was as close to us as Sirius is, it would be nearly as bright as the full moon ... bright enough to cast noticeable shadows at night ... and would be easily spotted even during the day.

∙ 16y agoAgreed, the sun is important...but no one star is more important than another....
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoStars are scattered all across our universe but guess what? there are no stars in our solar system besides the sun!
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoNo. A nearby galaxy, M31 - a.k.a. the "Andromeda Galaxy" - is bigger than our Milky Way. Other galaxies are known that are larger still.

∙ 9y agoThe brightest star in the night sky, Sirius, is a main sequence binary star (the larger with a spectral type A1V) with a fainter white dwarf companion.

Are the stars that you see at night really present when you see them?
Yes. There is a common myth that the stars you see at night have burnt out in the millions of years it takes for their light to reach us.This is not true for two reasons.The stars you see at night are in usually no more than a few hundred light years away, so you see them as they were, at most, a few hundred years ago.Most stars last for billions of years, so a period of a few million years, let alone a few hundred, is not significant.
Why do you sometimes see to many stars in the night sky?
You cannot see 'too many' stars in the night sky. You can only see those that are visible. Atmospheric conditions vary and with it, its the transparency. The clearer the sky the more stars you can see.
Are the stars you see at night from other galaxies?
No. All the stars you see at night are in our galaxy. Stars in other galaxies are much too far away to be seen without a powerful telescope.
Which is the most famous constellation?
The Big Dipper.Mostly known for having the North Stars Location,Easiest to see,And most spotted at night.
Do you see the same stars when you look out at night?
The Earth's axis always changes so you will see some stars one night but they change throughout the year
Are most of the stars you see at night actually galaxies?
No, most stars you see are stars within our own galaxy, the Milky Way
Are most of the stars you see in the night sky smaller than earth?
no

What is the most common star category?
Bright stars are rare, dim stars are common, so class M are the most common that we can see, but even dimmer ones are postulated to be even more common.
Can you see night and stars on the same night?
yes you can se star and night at the same every night because every night there are stars.
Why ca you see both the moon and stars in the night sky?
The moon and stars are both out at night.
What did you see in the night sky?
Stars.
Where can the most stars on earth be seen?
If you have a good night, look for the Milky Way - it is best viewed from the Southern Hemisphere. There you will see millions of stars. See related link for a picture.
Do stars shine at night?
Stars shine all the time but you can only see them at night due to the darkness.
Why do you sometimes see to many stars in the night sky?
You cannot see 'too many' stars in the night sky. You can only see those that are visible. Atmospheric conditions vary and with it, its the transparency. The clearer the sky the more stars you can see.
What can people see in the starry night?
Stars.
What do see in the sky at night?
Stars and the moon
