Are stars really yellow?

Some stars appear yellow because their light is a combination of different colors, resulting in a yellow hue when viewed from Earth. The color of a star can depend on its temperature, with cooler stars appearing more red and hotter stars appearing more blue or white.


Why do different stars appear during different seasons?

Different stars appear in the night sky during different seasons because Earth's orbit around the sun causes us to see different portions of the sky at different times of the year. As the Earth moves, our perspective changes, making certain stars visible or hidden based on their position relative to us. This phenomenon is why we see different constellations and stars during different seasons.

What accounts for different stars being seen in the sky during different seasons of the year?

The thing that accounts for different stars being seen in the sky during different seasons of the year is the tilt of the Earth. This not only creates the seasons, it brings different stars into view at different times.


The pictures show the same stars at different times. Which hypothesis is best supported by these data?

The best-supported hypothesis is that the position of stars in the sky changes over time due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis and its orbit around the Sun. This movement causes stars to appear in different locations at different times of the night or year. The changing positions of the stars in the images illustrate this celestial movement, confirming that our perspective of the stars is not static.

Stars appear different colors in the night sky due to their temperature. Hotter stars emit more blue light, while cooler stars emit more red light. This variation in temperature causes stars to have different colors when viewed from Earth.


Why does a prism cause white light to separate into the spectrum?

A prism causes white light to separate into a spectrum because light of different wavelengths (colors) travels at different speeds inside the prism. This difference in speed causes the light to refract at different angles, resulting in the separation of the colors of the spectrum.
