How does the tilt of the axis cause us to see different constellations in different seasons?

No, but the fact that the Earth orbits the Sun does do that. Because of the way sunlight ins scattered through our atmosphere (and because the Sun is incredibly bright), we cannot see stars that appear near the Sun in the sky; the Sun has to go below the horizon for any stars to be visible. Stars that are near the Sun in the sky are not visible. So as the Earth goes around the Sun, a different set of stars appear to be "behind" the Sun, near it in the sky, each season.

Why does nighttime stars appear so much smaller than the sun?

Stars are much farther away from Earth than the sun, causing them to appear smaller in the night sky despite their larger size. The sun is relatively closer to us, leading to its larger appearance compared to distant stars.


Why do stars appear to move across the sky from season to season?

Stars appear to move across the sky from season to season due to Earth's orbit around the Sun. As Earth orbits, our perspective changes, making it seem like stars are in different positions. This apparent movement is caused by Earth's rotation and its revolution around the Sun.

Why does the sun appear bigger than the stars?

Because we are closer to the sun than to the stars. The sun is bigger than SOME stars. Stars can be all different sizes. Some stars are in fact smaller than our sun but not as small as they appear to be. On the other hand, some stars are hundreds even thousands times larger than the sun we see. They only look small because they are so far away.


Why are stars yellow?

Some stars appear yellow because either they are yellow or the white color can appear different. The spectral types F and G (our sun), contain yellow stars. This is caused by their temperature.

Why do stars appear to move across the sky during the night?

stars don't move across the sky, we orbit the sun, as you should know, and as we orbit the sun we see the stars as moving but in all actuality we are just changing position and seeing the stars at a different perspective
