They aren't in a circle. They have not been in a circle on the official flag for I don't know how long probably 120 years or so.

∙ 11y agoThe Flag Resolution passed by the Marine Committee of the Continental Congress of June 14, 1777 - stated: "Resolved: that the flag of the United States be made of thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new Constellation." So, the stars represent a new constellation of stars never before seen in our heavens (or night skies)

∙ 11y agoThe Executive Order signed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1960 defined the specifications of the current flag of the United States of America. The actual design was prepared by the US Army Quartermaster Depot Heraldry Department in Philadelphia in 1959 based on a design submitted by Robert Heft, a high school student from Ohio. His design was selected from thousands submitted by people from all of the the country after the Hawaii statehood act was signed in March 1959.

In 1896 our new flag had 45 stars with the admission of Utah. When Oklahoma joined the USA in 1907 we added another star for a total of 46 stars in 1908. So, in 1900 there were 45 stars on the flag of the United States of America.

What does the star -spangled means?
A banner is a flag. adding a bunch of stars to it is to spangle it, if you're a poet. So the star-spangled banner is the American flag.
How many stars on the flag with stars in a circle American flag?
There are no documented 13 star flags in existence so we don't know how the stars were arranged except from period illustrations.Those illustrations show a tremendous variety of star patterns. Flags with circular star patterns have been used and/or proposed continually since 1795 to the present time. So the answer is "from 13 to 50."(I have a 50-star flag where the arrangement of stars is a double circle.) Though I must admit that I have never seen a 49-star flag with the stars arranged in a circle.
What does the star spangled banered mean?
A banner is a flag. adding a bunch of stars to it is to spangle it, if you're a poet. So the star-spangled banner is the American flag.
How many stars and stripes are on the American flag in 1914?
Arizona and New Mexico were not admitted to the union until 1912, so the flag should show 46 stars. But I've just seen a 1910 photo of some boys and girls sitting in the bleachers, representing the 1910 flag, and I counted just 45 stars. It's a puzzlement!
When were 50 stars put on the American flag?
When America took control of all 50 of our current states, so in 1959.
