What is a word astronomers use to describe any fuzzy patch in the sky?

Does temperature have to do anything with the sky being blue?
No, temperature does not directly cause the sky to be blue. The blue color of the sky is primarily due to Rayleigh scattering, where shorter wavelengths of light (blue) are scattered more than longer wavelengths (red) when sunlight passes through the Earth's atmosphere. While temperature can influence atmospheric conditions and weather, the blue appearance of the sky is a result of light physics rather than temperature itself.
What is a constellation and how many constellations cover the entire sky?
Roughly speaking, a constellation is a direction in the sky. The introductory paragraph of the Wikipedia summarizes the concept quite well: 'In modern astronomy, a constellation is an internationally defined area of the celestial sphere. These areas are grouped around patterns that represent the shapes that give the name to the constellations. When astronomers say an object is "in" a given constellation, they mean it is within the boundaries of one of these defined areas of sky, as the patterns may have several variants in its representation.' In modern astronomy, there are 88 or 89 constellations, depending on how you count.
What did Norman greebaughm mean by you are not a sinner you have never sinned in spirit in the sky?
In "Spirit in the Sky," Norman Greenbaum suggests that the concept of sin is not inherent to one's being; rather, it reflects a broader spiritual journey.

The song emphasizes a sense of hope and reassurance, encouraging listeners to embrace their spiritual essence rather than dwell on guilt or societal judgments.
Why was Virgo put in the sky?
It is more accurate to say that the constellation Virgo was imagined in the sky, rather than that it was put there. Early astronomers or astrologers were trying to make sense out of the rather large number of stars in the sky.
What location does NOT use latitude and longitude?
The sky. Astronomers use right ascension and declination as coordinates for locating stars, rather than latitude and longitude.
What is a constellation to modern astronomers?
To modern astronomers, a constellation is a defined region of the celestial sphere that contains a specific group of stars. Constellations are used as a way to organize the night sky and locate objects for observation and study. They are not physical groupings of stars, but rather arbitrary patterns that help astronomers navigate the sky.
What tool do you think helped astronomers study the sky is the most?
The telescope helps astronomers the most when studying the sky.
Do astronomers divide the sky into galaxies?
no, they divide the sky into constellations
Why are constellation useful for the sky?
they help us "map out" the sky, and almost like sectioning off places so astronomers can say, "the star we are looking at resides in the Draco constellation" and all the other astronomers can have an understanding of the general area they should be looking at
What does the Astronomers use to observe the sky?
a stethoscope
Who are the people who study ceiestal bodies in the sky?
astronomers
How many constellations are recognized by astronomers today?
There are 88 constellations recognized by astronomers right now.
Are there more stars in the sky or grains of sand on the beach?
Scientists say there are 10 times more stars in the night sky than grains of sand in the world's deserts and beaches. Astronomers have worked out that there are 70 thousand million million million - or seven followed by 22 zeros - stars visible from the Earth through telescopes!
Who were the first astronomers in the world?
Many people consider the first astronomers to be the first humans that ever looked up at the night sky and wondered what was really up there. So cavemen were probably the first astronomers.
What are The hours between midnight and dawn called?
Astronomers sometimes speak of the predawn sky. so If we are talking chronology rather than about a book the time period is predawn.
