Stars are incredibly bright objects. Since there is barely anything to block off their light, you can see them at very large distances.
The moon is incredibly small as compared to any stars that can be seen in the sky, although because the moon is so close to Earth, it looks large.
Yes, they are often near water and can fly long distances across seas.
The history of the Imperial system is incredibly long and very complicated. It has been around for centuries as seen by studying ancient civilizations.
Stars are typically seen at night when the sky is clear and dark, away from light pollution. You can also see some stars during the day if the conditions are right, but they are most visible at night.
Because.. the light from the Sun is far too bright to allow stars to be seen.
Stars have been seen in the sky as long as humans can remember. Constellations are just patterns of stars as we see them. Cancer is such a pattern. So the very first time a human being looked at the night sky was the very first time it was seen. Over time people began to name constellations. There are now 88 such constellations, which cover all the stars we see. Over the centuries some stars have changed from one to another by people re-designating them. The stars in constellations usually have no real connection to each other, but just happen to seem to be beside each other, when in fact they are huge distances from each other.
yes. mercury has no atmosphere so as long as you block the direct sun you can see all the stars from anywhere on the surface just like space.
False. They appear to be together because they are all in the same direction as we look towards them, but many are very far away from each other.
No, stars in a constellation can vary greatly in distance from us. Some stars may be closer while others are much farther away. Constellations are simply patterns of stars as seen from Earth, and the stars within them may be at different distances.
The Big Dipper is not a single object, but an asterism or pattern of stars in the constellation Ursa Major. The stars in the Big Dipper are at different distances from Earth, so it doesn't have a specific size in terms of light years across.
it is the red colour which can be seen from long distances thatswhy red bulbs are set in communication towers to stop accidents with airplanes
There are many people who have seen shooting stars. There will be many more sightings of shooting stars in the future.
