What else can I help you with?
Using the Doppler effect astronomers can determine a stars what?
How close and far something is from you.
Which stars wink?
Stars appear to twinkle or flicker in the night sky due to the Earth's atmosphere causing the light from the stars to refract, creating a twinkling effect. This phenomenon is more noticeable when stars are low on the horizon, as the light passes through a greater thickness of the atmosphere. All stars can appear to "wink" or twinkle as seen from Earth.
What causes the distortion of the light from stars that mean we see them twinkling?
The distortion of light from stars, causing them to twinkle, is due to the turbulence in Earth's atmosphere. As light passes through the varying densities of the atmosphere, it gets refracted in different directions, leading to the twinkling effect. Telescopes on high mountains or in space, above most of the atmosphere, can reduce this effect.
How does the earth's axis affect the constellations and the stars?
The Earth's axis determines the position of the celestial poles, around which the stars appear to rotate in the night sky. This axis also affects the angle at which we view different constellations throughout the year as the Earth orbits the sun. This axis tilt creates the changing seasons and alters the visibility of certain stars and constellations at different times of the year.
Stars near the north celestial pole appear to move?
Stars near the north celestial pole appear to move in a counter-clockwise circle because of the Earth's rotation. This effect is known as the diurnal motion of stars due to the Earth's rotation on its axis. Polaris, the North Star, remains nearly stationary as other stars appear to revolve around it.
How does stars affect earth?
Only one star has any effect on Earth. The sun is the source of the heat and lightwithout which there would be no life on Earth. None of the other stars has any effect.
How stars affect Earth?
Only one star has any effect on Earth. The sun is the source of the heat and lightwithout which there would be no life on Earth. None of the other stars has any effect.
Why is the rotation of the earth doesn't effect the way the stars move?
Because from the star's viewpoint the Earth is insignficant and invisible.
Do weather patterns affect stars?
No. Weather patterns on earth, and the stars in space have absolutely no effect on each other of any kind.
Why is it that stars twinkle for earth but not from the moon?
This is because the Earth's atmosphere has many layers which causes the rays of light coming from the stars to refract. This gives the effect that stars twinkle. The air around the moon does not have layers so the rays from the stars do not refract, and thus do not twinkle.
Do stars have gravitational pull if so how strong is the force of it?
No. The stars are much too far away for the Earth's existence to have any measurable effect on them.
Is there an effect on the earth when the stars change?
Almost never anything 'noticable', but it depends on the proximity of the star.
True or false the rotation of the earth effects what stars you see during the evening?
True. The rotation of the Earth causes different stars to become visible at night as it changes our perspective in relation to the stars. This effect is known as diurnal motion, where stars appear to rise in the east and set in the west due to the Earth's rotation.
What are shifts in the wavelengths of light of stars either approaching or moving away from earth called?
The Doppler effect.
How does a star stay in the sky?
The stars are too far away of Earth's gravity to have any noticeable effect on them.
Why is the sun the only star you use for heat?
All other stars are to far away to effect earth with heat.
