Why does the sun transit the southern sky?
The sun appears to transit the southern sky when viewed from the northern hemisphere due to the Earth's axial tilt. This tilt causes the sun's position in the sky to vary throughout the year, with the sun appearing higher in the sky during the summer and lower in the sky during the winter.
Who is the Brightest star other than sun?
Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky.
Why is the sun not always in the sky?
The sun and moon are always in the sky, but for half of the time, the earth turns you away from the part of the sky where they are, so that you can't see them. During those times, people on the other side of the earth can see them.
Can you tell time by the sun?
Yes, you can roughly estimate the time by the position of the sun in the sky. One way to do this is by knowing that the sun is highest in the sky at solar noon, which can help you estimate other times of the day based on the sun's position.
Is your sun smaller or bigger than stars in the night sky?
some stars are smaller than sun remaining stars are bigger than sun.
Why is the sun in the sky at some times and not at the other times?
The sun always is in the sky. Sometimes you can not see it because it is concealed behind clouds. At night, you will not be able to see the sun from your location, because the earth has rotated away from the sun.

Why the Sun sometimes is in the sky and not at other time?
The sun is always in the sky. But, as the earth rotates, some of the time (at night) your part of the earth is facing away from the so you think it is not in the sky.
What does the length of the shadow indicate about the location of the sun in the sky?
The higher the Sun is in the sky, the shorter the shadows produced. In some places the Sun can be overhead at certain times of year. In that case no significant shadows are seen.
Is it true that the sun is the largest sun in the universe?
No. Not even close. About 15% of stars in our Galaxy are larger than the sun. Some are hundreds of times larger. The sun appears larger in the sky because it is far closer than any other star.

Why does the sun look bigger than other stars in the sky as you see them?
Because the sun is closer to Earth than the other stars. Other than the sun, stars you see in the sky are light-years away. Some of the stars may even have their own solar system, just like our star does (the sun).
How many times larger does the sun appear in the sky of Mercury than in the earths sky?
The Sun appears about 2.5 times larger in the sky of Mercury than it does in Earth's sky. This is due to Mercury's closer proximity to the Sun, which results in a greater apparent size. Specifically, the Sun's angular diameter from Mercury is approximately 7 degrees, compared to about 0.5 degrees from Earth.
Why can't we see some stars that are bigger than the sun?
Some of the stars you see in the night sky are in fact bigger than the sun. They only appear small because they are many times farther away than the sun.
