How do you compare the similarities and differences of planets to the stars in appearancepositionand number in the night sky?
In the night sky, planets and stars can appear similar as both are visible celestial bodies, but they differ significantly in characteristics. Planets usually shine with a steady light and do not twinkle, while stars can exhibit twinkling due to atmospheric disturbances. In terms of position, planets move against the backdrop of stars over time, following specific orbits, whereas stars remain fixed in their constellations. Additionally, there are far fewer planets visible to the naked eye compared to the vast number of stars, which number in the billions in our galaxy alone.
Why are some stars are visible in march but not in September?
Because, e stars are in the sky in the same time of the year. In March, they appear high above the horizon, and in September they appear low.
Are globular clusters small asteroid-like bodies that formed the building blocks of the planets?
No, globular clusters are large groups of stars that formed together at the same time. They are much larger and contain thousands to millions of stars, unlike small asteroids, and were not the building blocks of planets.
What does sidereal mean?
Sidereal refers to the measurement of time based on the position of the stars, specifically the time it takes for a specific star to return to the same position in the sky. It is often used in astrology and astronomy to determine celestial events and positions.
What is the study of stars and planets called?
the study of stars and planets is colled Astronomy

Are the stars planets or are they the same as the sun?
The night time stars are suns, so distant they appear as points of light. Note that the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn can be seen without a telescope and can be mistaken for stars.
Can you see the same stars in the US and in Iraq?
While some constellations may be visible from both the US and Iraq, the positions of the stars in the night sky will vary based on the observer's location on Earth. Different latitudes and longitudes will result in a different perspective of the night sky, so not all stars visible in one location will be seen from the other.
What would the world be like if the sun did not exist?
-- much colder -- much darker -- oceans full of hard water -- no plants -- no animals -- nothing good to eat -- no seasons -- no wind -- no coal or oil -- no wood -- stars visible all the time -- no moon phases -- moon not visible -- no planets visible -- boring The world would'nt exist because both of them were created at the same time no matter if you believe in god or the big bang
Were do the stars go in the day time?
They are still there in the daytime. They are just difficult to see, because our atmosphere is too bright. Some bright planets (like Venus) or stars (like Sirius) should be visible if you know exactly where to look.
How many stars with planets?
There are more than 300 known stars with known planets, and the list gets longer all the time.
Are the same stars visible every night of the year from every location on earth?
No, the stars visible in the night sky change based on the Earth's rotation and its orbit around the Sun. The stars visible from a specific location depend on the time of year and the latitude of the observer. Some stars are circumpolar and are always visible in certain locations, while others may only be visible at certain times of the year.
Why some stars visible in march but not visible in September?

Do the stars appear to twinkle from other planets?
When you look at the stars through any substantial atmosphere (mixture of gases), they appear to twinkle, and they're not visible during the day. When you look at the stars through no gas, like from the Hubble Telescope or from the surface of the moon, they're visible all the time, day and night, even when the sun is also in the sky, and they don't twinkle.
How did the ancient astonomers know the planets were different from the stars?
Ancient astronomers can tell the difference the same way you can tell now - the planets move, while the stars stay in the same patterns. The word "planet" comes from the Greek word for "wanderer". The 'planets' were the lights in the sky that moved. Originally the Greeks included the Sun and Moon as planets, because they were light's that moved through the sky. Also, the closer and bigger planets, Jupiter, Mars & Venus are also MUCH brighter than stars. The smaller planets and the ones that are far, far away (Mercury & Saturn) are also bright - but not much brighter than the brightest stars in the sky. They also all travel in the same narrow path in the sky - the ecliptic. It's the same path the sun & moon follow in the sky through the months & year. These 7 lights were visible in the sky without telescopes - Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus & Saturn - which is how we got our 7 days of the week.
Do all parts of the earth see the same stars at the same time?
No, different parts of the Earth see different stars at the same time due to the Earth's rotation. As the Earth rotates, it changes the view of the night sky depending on the observer's location. The stars visible from a particular location depend on factors such as latitude and time of year.
