The stars are unimaginably far away, well beyond any influence from Earth. Even then, they are far larger and more massive than Earth is.

Why is the Big Dipper considered a circumpolar constellation?

This is because in many places in the northern hemisphere the Big Dipper never sets, it just goes round and round the Pole Star. Anywhere north of about 40 degrees north, none of the stars in the Big Dipper ever sets. The Big Dipper is not an official constellation, it is only part of Ursa Major.


Why can you not see the big dipper in Texas?

If you're anywhere south of about 35 degrees north latitude, then at least part of the Big Dipper rises and sets; that is, there are some parts of some nights when not all of its stars are visible. If you're farther south than about 40 degrees south latitude, then none of the stars in the Big Dipper is ever visible to you.

How come polaris is the only star visible in the little dipper?

You must live in a brightly lit city. While it is true that none of the stars in the Little Dipper are especially bright (even Polaris is only 3rd magnitude) you should be able to see them unless clouds or bright lights are obscuring your view. Have another look some night when you are out camping or in the country. You will be ASTOUNDED at the number of stars in the sky!

Why did they name it the little dipper?

I suspect that once the more obvious asterism of the Big Dipper was named, the nearby and similar group was simply called the Little Dipper.World cultures did not always agree, (heck, they almost never agreed) on which stars were in which asterisms, or what they represented. The which we call the Big Dipper has variously been The Plow, The Sickle, The Cart, the Great Bear (hence the constellation of Ursa Major, which is the Big Dipper plus some other stars) and, in the years following Charlemagne, Charles' Wain (wagon).Note the distinction between asterisms, which are groups of stars seeming (often to those with strong imaginations) to form animal or other shapes, and constellations, which are tracts of sky, very like countries on a geopolitical map.Some asterisms are the hearts of constellations, as the Big Dipper is part of Ursa Major, but some are larger. The "Summer Triangle" of Vega, Deneb and Altair takes in parts of three constellations.

Have you ever fallen for someone who was in a relationship with someone else How did you deal with it?

Are you kidding, this happens ALL THE TIME. The only way to deal with it is just forget it and move on. You'll get all sorts of crazy ideas but none of them ever work in the long run.
