Explain why stars appear to move across the sky each night why are some stars only visible doing certain seasons?

Stars appear to move across the sky each night because the earth is moving, but not the stars. Also some stars are only visible during certain seasons because as the earth rotates, they become visible.


Only at the equator are all the stars visible over the course of the year?

At the equator, due to the earth's rotation, observers have a complete view of the sky including all stars over the course of a year. This is because the equator lies halfway between the poles, where the stars around the celestial poles are always visible. In contrast, at higher latitudes, some stars are not visible due to the earth's tilt and the respective hemispheres facing away from certain stars at different times.


What percentage of the stars visible from earth can be seen from the equator?

Approximately 50% of the stars visible from Earth can be seen from the equator, as this is the point on Earth where the greatest number of stars can be observed in either hemisphere. The other 50% of stars would be visible from the opposite hemisphere.


Why are there not any stars in the sky in September?

Stars are always present in the sky, but they may not be as visible in September due to factors like light pollution, cloudy weather, or the position of the Earth in its orbit. Additionally, certain stars and constellations may not be visible in the sky during certain times of the year.


What is a pattern of stars visible to the naked eye in a small are in the sky?

A pattern of stars visible to the naked eye in a small area of the sky is called a constellation. Constellations are groupings of stars that form recognizable patterns when viewed from Earth. Some well-known constellations include Orion, Ursa Major (which contains the Big Dipper), and Scorpius.

Are the same stars visible every night of the year from every location on earth?

No, the stars visible in the night sky change based on the Earth's rotation and its orbit around the Sun. The stars visible from a specific location depend on the time of year and the latitude of the observer. Some stars are circumpolar and are always visible in certain locations, while others may only be visible at certain times of the year.

Why some star can be seen in a a month but not in other month?

Some stars are visible during certain months due to the Earth's orbit around the Sun. As the Earth moves, the night sky changes, causing different constellations and stars to rise and set at different times of the year. Additionally, seasonal changes in the Earth's tilt affect which stars are above the horizon during the night. This is why certain stars are prominent in winter but may not be visible in summer.

Some constellations can be seen only during certain seasons?

Yes, because the sun blocks our view of some stars. as the earth revolves further around the sun (over the course of a year), the stars that were originally blocked become visible from earth and stars that were once visible are now hiding on the other side of the sun. there are also stars that you will never be able to see without travelling to the southern hemisphere of the earth.

some stars seem smaller than the other because they are further away from earth. many stars are also located in different galaxies and are very bright therefore making it slightly visible.


How many stars are visible at night?

On a clear night, around 2,500 stars are visible to the naked eye from any given spot on Earth. The number can vary slightly depending on light pollution and atmospheric conditions. With a telescope, millions of stars become visible.


Are there more people on the earth or stars in the sky?

There are many more people on earth than there are stars in the sky that are visible to the naked eye, even if you include all the stars that are ever visible from any spot on earth and not just the ones that you can see.However, if you include all the stars that we know about that are not visible to the naked eye, there are many more stars, by many orders of magnitude, than all the people who have ever lived on earth. It is possible that there are many more stars than the total number of human beings who will ever live at any time, past, present and future.
