No. Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky. Polaris is much farther down the list.
Sirius is larger than Algol. Sirius is a binary star system with Sirius A being the larger star with about twice the mass of the Sun, while Algol is a triple star system with the main star being smaller than Sirius A.
Even though Sirius is more luminous than the Sun, it appears dimmer because it is much farther away from Earth than the Sun. The brightness of a star depends on both its luminosity and its distance from the observer. The Sun is closer to Earth, so it appears brighter in the sky compared to more distant stars like Sirius.
A star is MUCH larger than a moon.
Sirius appears brighter than Pollux because it is closer to Earth and is a more luminous star. Sirius is also a hot, blue star compared to Pollux, which is a cooler, orange giant star, further contributing to the difference in brightness.
Yes, Sirius is quite big while Barnard's star is small.
Rigel is approximately ten times LARGER than Sirius
Yes. Sirius actually consists of two stars. The main object, Sirius A is not only bigger than Earth but is almost twice the diameter of the sun. The secondary star, Sirius B is a collapsed remnant of a star called a white dwarf. It is slightly smaller than Earth but far denser.
No sirius is a star much hotter than the sun.
Yes it is much bigger.Probably 5 suns can fit in sirius.Not only is sirius bigger but it is much hotter as well.
Yes the sun is one of the stars bigger than earth so is Sirius,Pollux and Arcturus
No. Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky. Polaris is much farther down the list.
Yes, Sirius is larger than Barnard's Star. Sirius, a binary star system, consists of Sirius A, which is about 2.1 times the mass of the Sun and has a diameter approximately 1.7 times that of the Sun. In contrast, Barnard's Star is a red dwarf with a mass only about 0.14 times that of the Sun and a much smaller diameter. Thus, Sirius is significantly more massive and larger than Barnard's Star.
Sirius has a lower absolute magnitude than Rigel. Sirius is one of the brightest stars in the sky with an absolute magnitude of 1.42, while Rigel has an absolute magnitude of -8.1, making it much brighter than Sirius.
Sirius is larger than Algol. Sirius is a binary star system with Sirius A being the larger star with about twice the mass of the Sun, while Algol is a triple star system with the main star being smaller than Sirius A.
No. There is no such thing a a cold star. Sirius consists of two stars, both of which are hotter than the average star.
Our solar system is centred round the Sun, which is our own star, while Sirius is a nearby star that is bigger and brighter than the Sun but a lot further away. Sirius can be found near the constellation of Orion, to the lower left of it when viewed from USA or Europe. It is the brightest of all the stars, but the planets Venus and Jupiter can be brighter at times.
