Outside the solar system. There is only one star inside the solar system.

All of the others are outside of it.

With algebraic notation, we are able to derive a rigorous mathematical proof

to substantiate the hypothesis stated above:

Let "N" be the total number of stars. We know from field observation that N>>>2 .

Now, (again from field data), the number of stars within the solar system is equal to '1',

from which it follows that the number of stars outside the solar system is equal to [ N - 1 ].

Since 'N' is a positive integer greater than 2, it is apparent that [ N-1 > 1 ],

whence we may conclude, in words, that the number of stars outside the solar system

significantly exceeds the number within it.

Are the stars that you see at night really present when you see them?

Yes. There is a common myth that the stars you see at night have burnt out in the millions of years it takes for their light to reach us.This is not true for two reasons.The stars you see at night are in usually no more than a few hundred light years away, so you see them as they were, at most, a few hundred years ago.Most stars last for billions of years, so a period of a few million years, let alone a few hundred, is not significant.


When are stars seen?

Stars are typically seen at night when the sky is clear and dark, away from light pollution. You can also see some stars during the day if the conditions are right, but they are most visible at night.


Are the stars you see at night from other galaxies?

No. All the stars you see at night are in our galaxy. Stars in other galaxies are much too far away to be seen without a powerful telescope.


Do you see the same stars when you look out at night?

No, the stars we see in the night sky can vary depending on our location, time of year, and the time of night. The rotation of the Earth causes the stars to appear to move across the sky, so different stars become visible at different times.


Why are stars always there at night?

Stars are there day and night. During the day the sun, which is a star, is so bright that you cannot see the other stars. So that is why we only see stars at night. As we orbit the sun we do see different stars throughout the year. So ones that are not visible on a particular day will be visible at night at another time of the year.

What is the most common star category?

The most common star category is the main sequence stars, which include stars like our Sun. Main sequence stars are in a stable phase of hydrogen fusion in their cores, which is why they are abundant in the universe.


Can you see night and stars on the same night?

yes you can se star and night at the same every night because every night there are stars.

Where can the most stars on earth be seen?

If you have a good night, look for the Milky Way - it is best viewed from the Southern Hemisphere. There you will see millions of stars. See related link for a picture.


Do stars shine at night?

Stars shine all the time but you can only see them at night due to the darkness.

Are the solar system and all the stars in the space part of your galaxy?

The solar system definitely is, and most of the stars you see are as well. If you can see the Andromeda Nebula on a very dark clear night, that is a system of stars outside our galaxy.
