Stars are pretty much the light from stars that died. The light is a supernova and the stars are so far away that it takes a long time for the light to reach us. Once the light reaches us, we won't see that star anymore. If you went up to the "star" there wouldn't be anything there. The light is still traveling toward us, but the star is gone.
Because you cannot easily tell how much further away from us one star is than another.
No.... not really.... they just practically appear.
Binary stars are physically related stars that orbit each other due to mutual gravitational attraction, while optical doubles are stars that only appear to be close together in the sky but are not physically associated. Binary stars can be confirmed through their gravitational interaction, while optical doubles are simply a line-of-sight effect.
When observed up close, stars appear as bright points of light in the sky. Their size and color may vary, with some stars appearing larger and brighter than others.
Stars are not twinkling really. It is because of the atmosphere of the earth due to which they appear twinkling. However if they are seen from above the atmosphere of earth then they appear stationary.
That happens when the individual stars are too faint, and too close together, to be seen as individual stars.
An optical double are two stars that appear to be close together from our perspective on the earth but are in reality far apart and not binary stars.
An optical double are two stars that appear to be close together from our perspective on the earth but are in reality far apart and not binary stars.
It is not "a" star it is two stars. They may be "optical" binaries which means that from our line of sight form Earth they APPEAR close together (but are not really) OR They may be a binary star "system", in which case the two stars are gravitationally orbiting one another. The pair may be very close or quite widely separated.
no. in svz arent stars

Planets appear brighter than stars because they reflect more sunlight and have larger apparent sizes in the night sky compared to distant stars. Stars emit light due to nuclear fusion in their cores, while planets reflect light from the Sun, making them appear brighter to us on Earth.
