How can you see the big dipper upside down?

Answer 1

if you do it at a different time and turn the planisphere, then look at the Big Dipper and it might be upside down. I know it cuz im learnin bout it, RIGHT NOW! lol

Answer 2

The Big Dipper is always on a tilt. When it fills up it has to empty, thereby

flipping upside down to empty it's contents. That's where we get either rain

or snow, depending on the temperature.

Thanks for that. Now go to your room.

You are on the Earth. The Earth is rotating. You are rotating along with the Earth,

so you and your eyes are being rotated in a circle every day, like a chicken in a

rotisserie. Everything in the sky APPEARS to move in a circle every day, although

it's actually your eyes that are rotating in a circle. The center of all the circles is

the point in the sky that the Earth's north pole points to. (If you live anywhere in

the northern Hemisphere, like in Europe, the USA, Canada, etc.) Anything close to

that point in the sky appears to rotate around it every day, like the hands of a clock.

But it's really your eyes that are rotating, because you're riding on the spinning Earth.

Answer 3

Look north in the evening sky. As long as you are north of about 30 degrees north latitude, and as long as the sky is clear, you ought to be able to see it. The stars of the Big Dipper are relatively bright, and there are not a whole lot of other bright stars in that part of the sky.

One reference constellation that you can use is Cassiopeia, which resembles a crooked stretched-out "W" or a giant chair in the sky. The center point of the "W" points - very roughly! - in the direction of the Big Dipper. Cassiopeia is on the other side of the North Star Polaris, so if the Big Dipper is low in the sky, you may be able to find Cassiopeia and locate the Big Dipper that way.

Answer 4

The Little Dipper, or "Ursa Minor", is a difficult constellation to see from our light-polluted cities. The stars of Ursa Minor are all pretty dim, even the brightest star Polaris.

So the best way to see the Little Dipper is to go out in the country away from the big cities and the urban glow. Give your eyes time to become dark-adapted. Look north; between the Big Dipper and the "Chair" of Cassiopeia.

Answer 5

In the Northern Hemisphere, the Big Dipper is visible year-round and can be observed upside-down during certain times of the year, depending on the position of the Earth in relation to the stars. Typically, the Big Dipper can be seen in an upside-down position during the fall and winter months.
