What else can I help you with?
In the northern hemisphere there are some stars that do not appear to rise or set as other stars do These stars are?
Circumpolar stars. In the northern hemisphere, the north star does not rise or set; the north pole is always pointing toward it. The canopy of stars moves around the north star over the course of a day, giving the apparent rising in the east and setting in the west of most stars as the canopy dips below and moves above the horizon. The stars that are close enough to the north star never set. The part of the canopy that is visible at night changes over the course of a year.
What causes the diurnal motion of stars?
The diurnal motion of stars is caused by the rotation of the Earth on its axis. As the Earth rotates, it creates the illusion that the stars are moving across the sky from east to west. This motion is responsible for the daily rise and set of stars in the sky.
Do all stars rise and set for all viewers on earth?
no.
Why do stars rise and set in they night sky?
For the same reason that the Sun and the Moon rise and set. That's the result of Earth's rotation.
Why do stars and constellations also appear to rise and set?
Stars and constellations appear to rise and set due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis. As the Earth rotates, different stars and constellations come into view or move out of view from a specific location on Earth, giving the illusion of them rising and setting.
Do stars constellations also appear to rise and set?
Every natural object in the sky appears to rise in the east and set in the west.
Why do some stars rise and set when seen from EARTH?
The Earth's rotation.
When viewing west in which direction do stars set?
Whether you view west or in some other direction, many stars will rise in the east and set in the west. However, stars that are far north, for example, might rise in the north-east and set in the north-west; some stars might even rise and set almost north. Similarly, other stars may rise in the south-east, and set in the south-west, etc.
Do the sun moon and stars appear to rise in the east and set in the west because of the rotation of the moon?
The sun, moon, and stars all appear to rise in the east and set in the west due to the Earth's rotation on its axis. This rotation causes all celestial bodies to appear to move across the sky from east to west. The moon's own orbit around the Earth affects its position, but it does not directly impact the sun and stars.
True or false the rotation of the earth effects what stars you see during the evening?
True. The rotation of the Earth causes different stars to become visible at night as it changes our perspective in relation to the stars. This effect is known as diurnal motion, where stars appear to rise in the east and set in the west due to the Earth's rotation.
What direction will the moon rise from in Pittsburgh tonight?
The moon, the sun and the stars all rise in the east and set in the west due to the rotation of the earth.
Do distant galaxies rise and set like the stars in your sky?
Distant galaxies do not rise and set like stars in the sky. Their positions in the sky are fixed relative to our perspective on Earth. The apparent motion of rising and setting is a phenomenon caused by the rotation of our planet.
