How do astronomers plot a star's exact position?
Astronomers know that there isn't really a "celestial sphere", a globe of crystal in which the stars are embedded. But it is often convenient to talk of a "sphere" around the Earth, in which all the stars and planets move. And sometimes it makes the math a whole lot easier. Navigators do all their calculations AS IF all the stars were stuck to a crystal sphere, and the Moon and planets wandered around inside it.
What is the Eliptic?
Look up ecliptic, thats what you or another person misspelled
If you were standing on the earth's equator where would you look to see the north celestial pole Could you see it from Australia?
At the equator, the celestial north pole would be north, just at the horizon. In the southern hemisphere, for instance in Australia, the north celestial pole would be north, and as many degrees BELOW the horizon as your latitude. For instance, if you are 10 degrees south of the equator, the celestial north pole would be 10 degrees below the equator.On the other hand, for people in the southern hemisphere, the celestial SOUTH pole would be ABOVE the horizon; this same pole is below the horizon for anybody in the northern hemisphere.
What would happen if all of the planets lined up?
I predict that the constellations would look different.
Where would you go on earth if you wanted to be able to see both the north celestial pole and the south celestial pole at the same time?
To see both the north celestial pole and the south celestial pole at the same time a person would need to standing at the equator. The atmospheric haze may interfere near the horizon may obstruct the view.
Where can you find a celestial body?
Look up into the sky. Stars, planets, comets, asteroids, galaxies, etc., are celestial bodies.

What is a 3d shape sphere look like?
By definition a sphere is 3D. If it were only 2D it would be a circle.
What would a astronomer look at?
A astronomer would look at stars planets and the moon.

What is celestial hemisphere?
It half of the celestial sphere, which is an imaginary sphere with the Earth at the centre, on which all objects in the sky can have their positions described by a type of latitude (declination) and a type of longitude (right-ascension). Declination goes from -90 degrees (south) to +90 degrees (north), while right ascension goes from 0 to 24 hours. They are called geocentric coordinates, and although we know the Earth is not at the centre of anything, they are useful in describing where to look for a star or to point a telescope.

Why would you use telescopes to see planets?
Because planets look small from Earth and you cant see the color of the planet
What does life look like on Saturn?
at the present, we do not know if there is life on other planets or what it would look like if there was
Name some things that look like a sphere?
basketball, soccer ball are some things that look like a sphere.
