What is a stars brightness known as?
A star's brightness is known as its magnitude. Stars with lower magnitude numbers are brighter than stars with a higher magnitude number.
What part of the big dipper points to the north star?
The two stars Dubhe and Merek do. They're the two stars at the end of the 'bowl' opposite the 'handle'.
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).
Can shooting stars go up?
No, shooting stars do not go up. Shooting stars, also known as meteors, are debris from space that enters Earth's atmosphere and appears as a streak of light as it burns up due to friction with the air. The perception of shooting stars moving across the sky is due to the Earth's rotation and the meteor's trajectory.
What are a group of stars that form an image?
The group is known as a constellation.
What is bipolar flow?
Gas outflows often in two opposite directions because of stars magnetic field.
Are stars searchlight?
No, all the stars radiate light equally in all directions.

Does the darkness makes stars look dimmer?

How constellation help people?
They help us to find directions and to locate other stars.
Can you see all the brightest stars in one night?
No, not all stars in the sky can be seen from one place, they are spread all across the sky and in all different directions. There may be some very bright stars facing the other side of the earth that cannot be seen at that season because the earth faces the sun at the same time it would face those stars. Those ones may not be able to be seen until the earth is on the opposite side of its orbit.
What are asteorid's known as?
Asteroids are also known as meteors, shooting stars, falling stars, bolides and comets.
How did stars help early man?
Early man used stars for navigation to help them determine directions while traveling. Stars also helped them keep track of time by observing their movement across the sky. Additionally, stars played a role in religious and cultural beliefs, guiding rituals and ceremonies.
What causes the star to eject its outer layer?
Stars eject their outer layers during the final stages of their lives due to the depletion of nuclear fuel in their core. The core contracts, while the outer layers expand and may eventually be expelled in events like supernovae or planetary nebulae formation.
Which star is opposite to earth?
There is no specific "opposite" to Earth. The Earth is a sphere: it has no front or back. In addition, the Earth is continually spinning. If you were to go outside at night and look at the stars over time, you will notice the stars are moving.
