This question is so broad that it is difficult to know what you are looking for in an answer, but I'll give you the basics: Stars appear in the night sky to be distinct points of bright light. If they "twinkle" a great deal it means the atmosphere is somewhat turbulent - on a perfectly clear, still night, they do not twinkle. Careful observation of them under very dark conditions shows that they seem to vary in color (which they indeed do), red stars being most obvious, and you will also discern yellow, white and bluish-white. Their color is a function of their temperature. Some are very bright, some are so dim as to be barely visible. This sometimes has to do with their size, but much more often has to do with their relative distance from us. And lastly, every single star you can see on a clear night is within our own Milky Way galaxy. Even the farthest away ones are still, celestially speaking, in our "neighborhood".
What else can I help you with?
Why do stars appear in the night and not in the day?
The faint light of the stars is masked by the bright light of the sun.
Why do the stars appear to move slowly westward at night?
The earth is constantly moving eastward, so the stars appear to move westward. This is an optical illusion that is supported by Newton's 3rd Law (every action has an equal and opposite reaction).
Why do stars and constellation appear to move in the night sky?
Stars and constellations appear to move in the night sky due to the Earth's rotation on its axis. As Earth spins, different stars and constellations become visible while others disappear below the horizon. This motion gives the illusion of stars and constellations moving across the sky.
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.
What are flying stars at night?
"Flying stars at night" is not a common term in astronomy. If you are referring to stars that appear to move or appear to twinkle, this may be due to atmospheric effects or the rotation of the Earth causing the stars to appear to move across the sky. If you have a specific context in mind, please provide more information.
How did stars appear?
Stars in the sky appear at night time. If it is cloudy outside, stars will not be able to be seen by the naked eye. The moon also appears at night time.
What color are the stars in the sky at night?
Stars in the sky at night appear white, but they can also appear to be different colors depending on their temperature and composition.
Why do stars appear in the night and not in the day?
The faint light of the stars is masked by the bright light of the sun.
Why do the stars appear to move around the night sky?
the earths rotation
Why do the stars appear to move slowly westward at night?
The earth is constantly moving eastward, so the stars appear to move westward. This is an optical illusion that is supported by Newton's 3rd Law (every action has an equal and opposite reaction).
What appears at night but in the day it hides?
All animals that are nocturnal appear at night but then hide in the daytime.
Can you see satellites?
Yes, they appear as slowly moving stars in the night sky.
When is the next shooting star in 2012?
Shooting stars appear every night.
Why do stars and constellation appear to move in the night sky?
Stars and constellations appear to move in the night sky due to the Earth's rotation on its axis. As Earth spins, different stars and constellations become visible while others disappear below the horizon. This motion gives the illusion of stars and constellations moving across the sky.
Why the stars appear to move during the night?
stars seem to move because we are moving right now as we speak i guess you just see them move more at night
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.
When you view the stars and planets in the night sky they all appear to move on a great?
They appear to move on a great hollow sphere
