For example, if the star Toliman is 4.3 light-years over there (pointing with finger...) then Earth is 4.3 light-years in the opposite direction, in relation to Toliman. However, we can't use terms like "up", "down", or "north", etc. here, since these are not defined in outer space.
What else can I help you with?
How can you prove if the earth really rotates?
Simply by observing the position of celestial objects such as the sun & stars ! If the Earth didn't rotate, the sun would be in exactly the same position each day, and the side of the planet away from the sun would be frozen ! Additionally, if the earth wasn't rotating, the stars would be in exactly the same places in the night-sky !
Can you always see Jupiter from Earth?
Yes, Jupiter is one of the brightest objects in the night sky and can be seen with the naked eye under clear conditions. However, its visibility depends on its position relative to the Sun and Earth's orbit, so it may not always be visible throughout the year.
What determines the length of night on earth?
The length of night on Earth is determined by the position of the Earth in relation to the sun as it rotates on its axis. The tilt of the Earth's axis and its orbit around the sun dictate the changing lengths of day and night throughout the year. Factors such as the time of year and location on Earth also influence the duration of night.
What causes the apparent movement of objects across the sky during day or night on earth?
The rotation of the earth is what gives motion to the heavens.
Where on earth do objects in the night sky appear to move in circular paths parallel to the horizon?
At the north and south poles.
What will happen if the earth axis becomes vertical?
There would be no seasons, and the length of day & night would be exactly 12 hours each.
What is the farthest away from the planet Earth the sun the moon the planet Mars or the night stars?
The night stars are farthest from the Earth. The other three objects -- Sun, Moon, and Mars -- are all within the Earth's solar system.
When was Night of Desirable Objects created?
Night of Desirable Objects was created in 1987.
How is the movement of objects in the night sky related to earth's rotation?
The movement of objects in the night sky, such as stars and planets, is primarily a result of Earth's rotation on its axis. As Earth rotates from west to east, celestial objects appear to move across the sky from east to west. This rotation causes the apparent daily motion of stars, with their positions changing slightly over time due to Earth's orbit around the Sun. Thus, the observed movement is a perspective effect of Earth's own movement through space.
What are some of the objects you can see in the night sky that you can't see during the day?
Its so easy cause the earth rotates on its axis, which cause this appearance to change in the day and night.
How does gravity cause day and night?
Gravity does not directly cause day and night. Earth's rotation on its axis is what causes day and night. As Earth rotates, different parts of the planet are either facing towards the Sun (daytime) or away from the Sun (nighttime). Gravity is the force that keeps objects, including Earth, in orbit around the Sun.
Why are the night longer in winter?
Winter occurs at different times of the year for the northern and southern hemispheres, and both the seasons and duration of night are caused by the same thing! The earth rotates at a tilt in relation to how the sun faces the earth. During the winter, the sun is farther away from that part of the earth, and as such it spends more of its time facing away from the earth.
