Planets always shine brighter than stars?
Planets do not always shine brighter than stars; their brightness varies depending on their position relative to Earth and the Sun. Planets reflect sunlight, making them appear bright, but their visibility can fluctuate based on factors like distance and alignment. Some stars can outshine planets significantly, especially in cases of particularly bright stars or during certain astronomical events. Overall, while planets can be bright, they are not inherently brighter than all stars at all times.
What are the bright lights in night sky that are NOT stars or planets?
The moving bright lights may be aircraft, satellites, or meteors. The bright points that are not stars or planets may also be galaxies, asteroids, comets, or the moons of planets.
Are Earth and Mars Stars or Planets?
Earth and Mars are planets, not stars. Stars are massive celestial bodies that generate light and heat through nuclear reactions in their cores, while planets are smaller bodies that orbit stars. Earth and Mars are both planets in our solar system that orbit the Sun.
In which constellation will you find the bright star?
There are several bright stars. Planets move around the Ecliptic, covering 13 constellations or so. Note that planets look like stars, but are not currently considered stars. Also note that some of the planets look brighter (to us) than any real star. Other than planets, the brightest stars are the Sun (also changes through the constellations of the Ecliptic), Sirius (Canis Major), Canopus (Carina), and Toliman (Centaurus).
If you lived on Mars which planets would describe retrograde loops?
If you lived on Mars, the planets that would exhibit retrograde loops when viewed from Mars would be Earth and Venus. This is because the retrograde motion of a planet is an optical illusion observed when Earth passes by another planet in its orbit, causing the other planet to appear to move backward in the sky relative to the background stars.

Are the bright stars in the sky planets?
Stars are not plants they are really hot gases.
What planets have morning and evening stars?
Earth and Venus. From Earth Venus and Mercury are planets visible as "morning" and "evening" stars. From Venus, Mercury would appear in the morning and evening sky. From Mars I would expect Earth, Venus, and Mercury to all be morning and evening "stars."
How the earth is affected by stars?
earth is effected by the stars because they are to bright

Why The Moon and the planets appear bright at night?
The Moon appears bright at night because it reflects sunlight. Planets appear bright due to the reflection of sunlight off their surfaces, as well as their own internal heat that emits light. Additionally, planets are much closer to Earth than stars, making them appear brighter in the night sky.
Which of the brightest stars if the largest?
Arcturus (in Bootes) and Antares (in Scorpius) are GIANT, reddish stars and are extremely bright - in fact, they are almost as bright as the planets.
Why do other planets in our solar system appear to be emmiting light as if they are stars when viewed from Earth?
They reflect sunlight - just like the moon. They are just too far away to see the detail (light and dark spots) with the naked eye so it all runs together. If you look through a telescope, you can tell the difference right away.
Does mars twinkle in the night sky?
Mars does not twinkle in the night sky as much as stars do, because planets are closer to Earth and appear as solid, bright discs of light. Twinkling occurs when starlight is distorted as it passes through Earth's atmosphere, but planets are large enough to not twinkle significantly.
How come you cant see the 2 planets in front of the earth but the sun?
Mercury and Venus are the two planets nearer to the sun than the Earth is. They are both bright and easy to see. You just have to know when to look, and where in the sky to look. You also have to know what you are looking at when you see them, because they just look like bright stars.
What has absolute magnitudes of one or less?
Objects with absolute magnitudes of one or less are extremely bright, and typically include objects like the Sun, the Moon, and certain major planets like Venus and Jupiter when viewed from Earth. These objects appear very bright in our sky because they reflect or emit a lot of light towards us.
