What else can I help you with?
What is a group of stars that form pattern or shape?
It is called a constellation.Constellations.Technically an asterism, but most people usually call it a constellation.
What is an imagined group of stars?
That would be a constellation. There are 88 recognized constellations. A subset of a constellation or other set of stars is called an asterism.
What would happen if constellations disapearred?
If constellations disappeared, stargazing and navigation by the stars would be more challenging. However, the celestial objects themselves would still exist. Constellations are simply patterns that we've formed by connecting stars in the sky, so their disappearance would not affect the stars themselves.
What is the names of the stars in the sky?
Those would be "constellations".
What would happen if all constellations dissappeared?
Nothing at all. Constellations are man made, so the stars will still be there.
Can you see the same constellations from another planet?
No, constellations are patterns of stars as seen from Earth's perspective. From another planet, the arrangement of stars in the sky would appear different due to the planet's position in space. Therefore, you would not see the same constellations as from Earth.
What would happen if there were no stars or constellations?
If there were no stars or constellations visible in the sky, we would lose a major navigation tool that humans have used for centuries. Additionally, the absence of stars would likely lead to a very different understanding of the universe and our place in it, as stars play a key role in shaping our knowledge of cosmology and the origins of the universe.
Would a stellar map of the moons constellations help you on the moon?
No, since the moon has no atmosphere, a stellar map of the moon's constellations would not be useful for navigation or orientation on its surface. The lack of atmosphere means that there is no twinkling of stars and the sky appears pitch black, with stars visible all around, making it difficult to discern constellations.
How far would you have to move before the constellations would appear to change shape?
The constellations would not appear to change shape as you move because they are so far away that the relative positions of the stars remain constant from our viewpoint on Earth. This is why we can use constellations for navigation and timekeeping.
Where would you see constellations?
you see them by connecting stars together in the nightime sky. This sky called space
Circumpolar constellations orbit what?
Beautiful question !! Circumpolar stars and constellations are stars and constellations the "go around the pole" = Circum (circle) polar (the pole) The North Star is called "Polaris" because it's directly above Earth's North Pole - in other words, if you went to the North Pole, "polaris" would be directly over your head. Because of this, all of the stars appear to pivot around Polaris as Earth rotates. Now I don't know where you live, but if you live in the United States, Polaris would NOT be overhead - it would be lower in the sky but still in the North. The lower on the globe you live, the lower Polaris appears in the sky. So, the stars and constellations that spin around Polaris but DON'T SET, are called circumpolar stars and constellations.
Is A constellation a group of stars that separates the sky into definite sections and has been given a name?
Almost. A constellation is a group of stars that visually relate to one another, and have hence been given a name, based on their apparent pictorial appearance. I don't think you can include "separates the sky into definite sections", as several constellations overlap (Pegasus and Andromeda, for example) and some constellations take up a tiny part of the sky, some a huge chunk of it - which would be a rather awkward way of dividing up into "definite sections".
