Why do the other stars in the galaxy appear so small?
It's because they are so far away. Even the closest one is 9000 times as far as Neptune. Going another 9,000 times further does not go as far as the centre of the galaxy.
Why do the planets look so small from Earth?
The planets appear small from Earth because of their great distance from us. Even though they are large celestial bodies, their size pales in comparison to the vastness of space. Our perspective from Earth makes them appear small in the night sky.
Why is Jupiter in the night sky brighter than betelgeuse?
Jupiter is brighter than Betelgeuse in the night sky because it is much closer to the Earth in comparison to Betelgeuse(Betelgeuse is more than 500 lightyears away form the Earth). This way, Jupiter appears larger than Betelgeuse, and celestial objects that appear larger also appear brighter than objects that appear small.
Why does the milky way look like a hazy band of stars in the sky?
The Milky Way appears as a hazy band of stars in the sky because we are viewing it edge-on from within the galaxy. The combined light of billions of distant stars, interstellar gas, and dust within the plane of the galaxy creates this band of light across the night sky.
Can other suns be seen with naked eyes?
A sun (lower case) is defined as any "star" with planets or other objects revolving around it. As we have found over 400 exoplanets, the answer is yes, you can see other suns in the night sky.
Why do the other stars in the galaxy appear so small in the night sky?
Other stars in the galaxy appear small in the night sky because of their immense distance from Earth. Since they are so far away, they appear as tiny points of light when viewed from our planet. Additionally, Earth's atmosphere can cause blurring and distortion of starlight, further contributing to their small appearance.
