Why can some different stars be seen in different seasons?
Earth spins on its axis
Why some star can be seen in a a month but not in other month?
Some stars are visible during certain months due to the Earth's orbit around the Sun. As the Earth moves, the night sky changes, causing different constellations and stars to rise and set at different times of the year. Additionally, seasonal changes in the Earth's tilt affect which stars are above the horizon during the night. This is why certain stars are prominent in winter but may not be visible in summer.
How does the size of the sun compare to the stars?
The sun is bigger than some stars, but it is smaller than some stars too. The sun is the brightest star that is closest to earth, causing it to be seen daily.
Why can some stars been seen first than after a while more star are seen?
Your eyes adapt to the darkness. Also, some stars are so small to the human eye from Earth that it takes a few seconds to spot them.
When viewing west in which direction do stars set?
Whether you view west or in some other direction, many stars will rise in the east and set in the west. However, stars that are far north, for example, might rise in the north-east and set in the north-west; some stars might even rise and set almost north. Similarly, other stars may rise in the south-east, and set in the south-west, etc.
Can you see all the brightest stars in one night?
No, not all stars in the sky can be seen from one place, they are spread all across the sky and in all different directions. There may be some very bright stars facing the other side of the earth that cannot be seen at that season because the earth faces the sun at the same time it would face those stars. Those ones may not be able to be seen until the earth is on the opposite side of its orbit.
Are some stars about as small as earth is?
Yes, there are some stars as small as earth. It depends, however, on where the stars are located and how long they have been burnt out.
Why can some stars be seen in New York State on a summer night but cannot be seen on a winter night?
Some stars are seasonal, meaning their visibility changes with the Earth's position in its orbit around the Sun. During summer nights in New York State, the Earth is oriented in such a way that certain constellations and stars are above the horizon. In winter, the Earth has moved, obscuring those stars behind the Sun, which makes them invisible during that season. Additionally, winter nights tend to have different atmospheric conditions that can affect visibility.
Is man's destiny here on Earth or in the stars?
Many people believe that man's destiny is in the stars and some even think that man has come from the stars. It's difficult to say whether man's destiny is here or in the stars but there is always hope that there is more than what is seen.
When are stars seen?
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.
Why do some stars look brighter than others?
Stars look brighter than others due to factors such as their size, temperature, and distance from Earth. A larger and hotter star will appear brighter, as will a star that is closer to us. The brightness of a star as seen from Earth is measured by its apparent magnitude.
What is a pattern in the stars called?
A pattern in the stars is called a constellation. These are specific groupings of stars that form recognizable shapes or figures as seen from Earth. Some well-known constellations include Orion, Ursa Major (the Big Dipper), and Scorpius.
