The planets look smaller than the sun because they are further away?
The planets appear smaller than the sun because they are much smaller in size compared to the sun. Even though they may be further away, it is primarily their smaller size that makes them look smaller in the sky.
How does the relative distance of objects from the earth affects how they appear?
Other things being equal, the farther away an object is, the dimmer (less bright) it will appear. If no light is lost (due to gas or dust in the line of sight), there is an inverse-square law - for example, an object that is 10 times closer to another one, both of which have the same real brightness, will look 100 times brighter to us.
Do the planets look smaller than the sun because they are further away?
No. Planets look smaller than the sun because they actually are smaller.
A bright star can appear dimmer than a less bright star if the bright star is?
If the bright star is located farther away from Earth than the less bright star, it will appear dimmer due to the inverse square law of light intensity. The amount of light reaching Earth decreases with distance, so a closer, less bright star can appear brighter than a further, brighter star.
Why sun and moon looks like same size from earth?
Well the moon is smaller and closer, and the sun is larger and further away. We all know that the further away an object is the smaller it appears; it's just miraculous that the Earth, Moon and Sun are spaced apart at the perfect distances for the moon to appear almost exactly the same size as the sun.
What happens to the particles if the mass increases?
they expand (get further away) and become lighter so it will rise :-)
According to linear perspective people and objects appear to get?
They appear to seem smaller the further away they are,and bigger the closer they get.
What are convex mirrors for?
they make objects appear more further away then they actually are
What are convex mirrors used for?
they make objects appear more further away then they actually are
Does a shadow change the further away from the light source?
Yes it does change, eventually the further away you go the lighter the shadow gets. And depending on if you move a couple of centimetres off, the shadow might start to contour!
What is color perspective?
Color perspective, also known as atmospheric perspective, refers to the phenomenon where objects appear to change in color and brightness based on their distance from the viewer. Objects further away typically appear lighter and less saturated compared to objects that are closer. This effect is caused by the atmosphere scattering light and affecting our perception of color.
What will an object appear to look like as it moves away?
As an object moves away, it will appear smaller and less detailed due to perspective and the decrease in proximity. Colors may also appear faded or less distinct. Additionally, the object may appear to move more slowly or remain stationary as it moves further away.
When can the average person see things that are further away daytime or nightime?
The answer is at night. You can see the stars which are much further away than the sun.. the nearest star is 40 trillion kilometres away :)
Convex mirrors fitted to a car makes following cars appear to be?
Further away (smaller) than they actually are.
Which depth cue accounts for why parallel lines appear to grow closer together the further away they are?
monocular constancy
Why do stars and the sun appear different?
Stars appear different from the sun because the sun is closer to the earth and the other stars are further away from the earth so that's why the appear differently when you look at them in the sky!!!!!
What does Saturn look like from far away?
From Earth, it looks a lot like a bright star. From further away, it would appear as a dimmer star, or would not be visible at all.
