Why do you think some smaller planet are heavier than the bigger ones?
They are much denser. it's the same with stars and neutron stars. Neutron stars are many times smaller than the original star but much heavier because they are so denser
Why do bigger stars die more quickly?
Bigger stars get hotter, and use up their fuel much faster than smaller stars.
What is the actual amount of light a star gives off?
It is actually absolute magnitude, opposed to apparent magnitude which is how much light stars appear to give off.
Star much larger than the sun?
Many stars are larger than our Sun, many are smaller.
Why do stars like Alpha Centuri appear so dim?
They appear so dim because they are very far from us. They are several light years away from us. [url=http://www.articlesbase.com/health-articles/proactol-review-does-proactol-diet-pills-work-for-weight-loss-1707237.html]Proactol[/url]
Why are stars in the night sky so much smaller than our star?
They are not. The stars at night only appear smaller than the sun because they are much farther away.
Why do stars appear distant if you supposedly only see the light that they emit?
All sight its based on the light that objects either emit, reflect, or refract. The stars are little different in this regard. We judge distance using a number of different cues, a number of which indicate that the stars are far away.More distant objects will tend to appear smaller. The stars appear small.Any object that blocks a portion of the sky will block the stars from view, so we know the stars are more distant than those objects.When we move, objects we are looking at appear to change position relative to us. The farther away they are, the smaller the change. No matter how much we move there is no apparent change in the position of the stars, meaning they must be very far away.Indeed, the stars are much farther away than they appear to be as we are not able to perceive such distances directly.
Is the sun bigger or smaller than other stars?
Our sun is about average compared to other stars. Some are much smaller (white dwarfs) and others are much larger.
Why are the stars in the sky so much smaller than the sun?
They appear smaller as they are so far away. If you had a model of the solar system in your room, with all the planets and the sun at the centre, the next nearest stars on that model would have to be placed many miles away to be on the same scale.
Moon is smaller than star but appear bigger from earth?
Correct. The moon appears larger than the stars because it is much closer to us.
Do stars move as much as the moon?
Stars do not move, but the moon orbits. Stars appear to move because we are moving.
Are red stars bigger than blue stars?
Red stars can be smaller or larger than blue stars as there are two types of red star. Red dwarfs are much smaller than blue stars while red giants are much larger than blue stars.
Why do planets appear to move through the background of stars?
planets are much closer to us than the stars
Why are stars in the night sky so much smaller than your star?
The sun is much closer than the the stars we see at night
