Many people regard all things seen in the night sky as stars. This, however, is inaccurate. Some of the lights above us are indeed stars, (as define bellow), however, others are planets or other large bodies of reflective light which exist within our universe. Our atmosphere is transparent, allowing us to gaze upon this gigantic balls of light while the sun makes it's rounds. Literally, stars are massive balls of plasma held together by gravity; our sun is a star. The sun holds together our solar system: it provides warmth and acts as a catalyst for the rest of the planets orbits. Without the sun there would be no object great enough in mass to lock the planets into gravitational rotation.
The stars are always there, but you cannot see them every night because the sky will be covered with clouds on some nights. If you were to go above the clouds you could see them.
A pattern of stars in the night sky is commonly referred to as a constellation. Each constellation has a unique shape and name.
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.
Stars in the night sky maintain the same distance from Earth. Despite their different distances from us, the stars appear to be at a fixed distance from each other when observed from our perspective on Earth.
Stars are visible at night because they emit light that reaches our eyes. When the sun sets and the sky darkens, the stars become more visible against the darker backdrop. The lack of light pollution and clear skies also contribute to better visibility of stars in the night sky.
Yes, by one twelfth.

Stars and planets appear in the night sky. The Moon also appears every night in different phases. Additionally, satellites and other human-made objects can sometimes be seen passing overhead.
The word that is used for a group of stars in the night sky is a star cluster.
Starry night looks like a town with a big pointy mountain. In the sky, there is the night sky with stars and a moon in a swirl.
A star chart shows the stars positions in the night sky.
Stars in the sky at night appear white, but they can also appear to be different colors depending on their temperature and composition.
The moon and stars are both out at night.
moons and stars.. star studded sky..:)
Yes, we can see stars outside of our galaxy in the night sky. These stars are part of other galaxies that are visible to us from Earth.
Stars and the moon
There are only 6,000 stars in the night sky which are viewable with the naked eye. But there are billions if not trillions of stars in the universe. Remember one star in every solar systen, millions to billions of stars in each galaxy, and billions of galaxies in the universe.
