Only at the equator are all the stars visible over the course of the year?
True.
Explain why stars appear to move across the sky each night why are some stars only visible doing certain seasons?
Stars appear to move across the sky each night because the earth is moving, but not the stars. Also some stars are only visible during certain seasons because as the earth rotates, they become visible.
Why are some stars not visible from earth?
because they are too far to see for the naked eye.
What happens to the north stars as it approach 0 degrees?
There are completely different constellations on South sky. Behind the equator there is no Northern star visible.
Where would you see the least number of circumpolar stars?
At the equator, you will see no circumpolar stars.
Only at the equator are all the stars visible over the course of the year?
True.
What hemisphere is the constelation Aries in?
There are no constellations in the northern hemisphere, but several of them are visibleto observers located there.Depending where you are in the northern hemisphere, you can see anywhere betweenhalf of all the visible stars (from the north pole) to all of the visible stars (from the equator).At any location on earth, Aries is visible during some part of the year.
What are 2 stars visible from earth?
two stars are the sun and betelgeuse
What is visible at night from the earth?
the stars and some of our planets
What percentage of visible stars are closer to the earth than the sun?
None are. The sun is the closest star to Earth. The next nearest star, Proxima Centauri, is about 260,000 times farther away than the sun is.

Is it true onle at the equator are all the stars visible over the course of the year?
If you're willing to depart now and then from a routine schedule of sleep and stargazing, you can probably see all of the constellations and visible stars in the sky within a period of a few months, from an observing location on the equator.
How many stars r in the sky?
Short answer: All of them are.More details:-- On the average, the faintest stars detectable by human eyes, in dark skiesduring conditions of good 'seeing', are those of the 6th magnitude.-- Roughly 5,000 stars exist with apparent visual magnitude at or below (brighter than) 6th magnitude.-- Depending on your location on Earth, the fraction of all stars visible to you at some timeduring the year varies from 50% (at the poles) to 100% (on the equator).-- At any moment during the night, the fraction of stars visible to you at any timethat are visible to you at that moment varies from 50% (at the equator) to 100%(at the poles).-- Averaging all the variables into a single number that may be equally inaccurateanywhere on Earth, you can assume that any time you're outside on a clear night,far from city lights and other sources of artificial illumination, during conditions of'good seeing', there are roughly 2,000 to 2,500 stars in the sky that are visible toyour unaided eyes.
Are there more people on the earth or stars in the sky?
There are many more people on earth than there are stars in the sky that are visible to the naked eye, even if you include all the stars that are ever visible from any spot on earth and not just the ones that you can see.However, if you include all the stars that we know about that are not visible to the naked eye, there are many more stars, by many orders of magnitude, than all the people who have ever lived on earth. It is possible that there are many more stars than the total number of human beings who will ever live at any time, past, present and future.
How do shooting stars travel so fast if there is no gravity?
Although shooting stars are not affected by the Earth's gravity, they are still pulled by other planets and stars. All of the shooting stars visible on Earth orbit the sun, just like the earth itself.
Where on earth can you observe all the stars in the sky over an entire year?
Theoretically, you would need to be at the equator. However, from the equator you would never see the north star Polaris, because the haze of the atmosphere prevents you from seeing things within a degree or so of the horizon.
Why are some stars not visible from earth?
because they are too far to see for the naked eye.
