Why do stars that don't exist still stay in the sky?

Stars that don't exist still stay in the sky because the light that we're seeing in the sky is about 10 years old because it takes so long for the light to get here due to the stars being billions of miles away


Why do we see stars that don't exist?

We see stars that no longer exist because the light from those stars takes time to reach us. Some stars may have burned out millions or even billions of years ago, but their light continues to travel through space until it reaches Earth. As a result, we observe them as they were in the past, not as they are in the present. This phenomenon highlights the vast distances in the universe and the finite speed of light.

Which type of star ages the fastest?

The bigger the star, the faster it dies. Super-massive stars like Betelgeuse, the red supergiant at the shoulder of Orion, probably don't exist much longer than a few hundred thousand years. Our Sun will exist for about 9 billion years before it expands into a red giant. Tiny red dwarf stars can exist for tens of billions of years or more.


Where do stars exist?

All around us.
