Stars are always in the sky but as the sun shines brightly in the day it can not be seen. They are sometimes not visible at night if it is cloudy or if you are in an area with a lot of light pollution.

Why is Venus always found in the same general part of the sky as the sun?

Because Venus, along with Mercury, are inner planets it never appears too far from the sun. In fact Venus never strays more than 47 degrees from the sun. That makes it always appear in the western sky after sunset or in the morning sky in the east at dawn, and that's where our crescent moons always appear.


Is Saturn always visible in the night sky?

Saturn is not always visible in the night sky. Its visibility depends on its position in its orbit relative to Earth, as well as the time of year. Saturn is most visible when it is at opposition, which is when it is directly opposite the Sun in the sky.


Why would you never see a rainbow in the southern sky if you were in the northern hemisphere?

The diffraction of light from thesunto form arainbowrelies on the sun being behind the observer.In general terms when you are in the northern hemisphere the sun is always south of you, even if its by a tiny amount, so the rainbow will always be north of you. This means you will not see a rainbow (caused by the sun) in the southern sky.To be absolutely accurate however due to the axial tilt of the earth there is a zone near theequatorwhere the sun is in fact slightly north of you for about half the year and you are still in the northern hemisphere (which comes from the position of the equator not the sun). In this zone it is possible so see a rainbow in the southern sky.
