Infinite and Unknown.
But I think the point is "night sky" meaning, OUR night sky, or our visual field here on Earth. It's not a question of how many stars are in the universe. The answer depends on your location and the brightness of ambient terrestrial lights but can be as many as 13,000.
What else can I help you with?
Why the stars are twinkling?
Stars twinkle because of the Earth's atmosphere. As the light from a star passes through the various layers of the atmosphere, it gets refracted or bent, causing the star's brightness to fluctuate slightly. This bending of light is what creates the twinkling effect that we see from Earth.
Are there stars in the thermosphere?
No, stars are located in outer space beyond Earth's atmosphere. The thermosphere is a layer of Earth's atmosphere that begins about 80 kilometers above the surface and extends to about 550 kilometers where it transitions into the exosphere. The thermosphere is not a place where stars are found.
What do you call peices of stone that enter the earths atmosphere?
Pieces of stone that enter the Earth's atmosphere are called meteoroids. Upon entering the atmosphere and creating a bright streak of light as they burn up, they are called meteors or shooting stars. If a meteor survives its passage through the atmosphere and lands on Earth, it is called a meteorite.
Objects beyond earth's atmosphere?
Objects beyond Earth's atmosphere include satellites, space stations, spacecraft, and celestial bodies such as planets, stars, and galaxies. These objects play important roles in scientific research, communication, navigation, and exploration of space.
What do we call pieces of stone that enter the earth's atmosphere?
Meteoritesis what we call stones that enter the earths atmosphere.
Why are Stars are brighter when they are seen from the moon?
No atmosphere (air) that dims the light from the stars.No atmosphere (air) that dims the light from the stars.No atmosphere (air) that dims the light from the stars.No atmosphere (air) that dims the light from the stars.
Why don't stars twinkle from the moon?
Stars do not twinkle from the moon because the moon does not have an atmosphere like the Earth does. The twinkling of stars is caused by the light from the stars passing through the Earth's atmosphere and being distorted by the movement of air currents. Since the moon lacks an atmosphere, the light from the stars does not twinkle when viewed from its surface.
Spectrum indicates what in the stars atmosphere?
The chemical composition of the star atmosphere.
Why cant you live on stars?
Stars are way to hot to live on. They also have on atmosphere
How does the lack of atmosphere affect the temperatures on mercury?
Mercury has the thinnest atmosphere so the fast winds from blown up stars go to the thin atmosphere, it will be easier to get in and change the atmosphere
Does any shooting stars go by mercury?
Shooting stars are all in our atmosphere, they are meteors.
Why do stars come out?
The Earth's atmosphere contains nitrogen, which glows with blue light when struck by the suns rays. This obscures the stars during the daytime. If there were no nitrogen in the atmosphere, the stars would be visible all the time.
Can stars fall from the atmosphere?
No. The stars are well beyond the atmosphere and are not influence by Earth at all. The stars may look small in the sky but they are enormous, far larger than Earth and unimaginably far away.
Why is it that stars twinkle for earth but not from the moon?
This is because the Earth's atmosphere has many layers which causes the rays of light coming from the stars to refract. This gives the effect that stars twinkle. The air around the moon does not have layers so the rays from the stars do not refract, and thus do not twinkle.
What does earths atmosphere do to starlight?
Makes stars twinkle.
What layer of atmosphere has stars?
Stars are located in the exosphere layer of the atmosphere, which is the outermost layer. This layer is above the thermosphere and extends into space, where it contains a small number of gas molecules as well as stars.
Do stars have atmosphere?
Yes, stars have atmospheres. These atmospheres are composed of gases and influence the star's characteristics, such as temperature and brightness. The composition of a star's atmosphere can vary depending on the star's size, age, and stage of life.
