Stars seem brighter in open country for several reasons.
The main reason is light pollution. Light from street lights and the other trappings of urban living drown out the light from stars. A simple experiment to demonstrate this is to turn on a torch in a dark room at night and go outside and look in through the window. Now turn on the light in the room and go outside and look again. The second time u will not notice the torch light so much.
Other lesser factors are industrial pollution. Smoke, sulphur dioxide etc make the air less transparent and thus less star light gets through. Shine a torch through a fish tank filled only with water. Then repeat but add some milk into the tank. The second time the torch will be noticeably dimmer.
Also heat "pollution". Urban areas maintain heat at night more than non urban areas. This causes the air above it to move more and thus the stars shimmer in the heat haze. Less bright stars seem to melt into the background.
What else can I help you with?
When look up at the stars at night they seem very close to earth is this accurate?
When you look at the stars at night, you can't really tell how distant they are. They can easily seem to be closer than they really are.
Why do billions of stars appear as big patches of light in the night sky?
Billions of stars appear as big patches of light in the night sky due to their distance from Earth. From our perspective, the light from individual stars merges together to create these patches, known as galaxies or star clusters. These collections of stars appear as cohesive shapes due to their sheer number and the vast distances between them and us.
How would the sun look if it was 5 light year away?
If the sun were 5 light years away from us, it would appear as a faint star in the night sky, much like other distant stars. It would not provide significant warmth or illumination to Earth as it does at its current distance.
Why do people look at the stars do they think they are shrinking?
No, people do not think stars are shrinking when they look at them. People look at the stars because they are fascinated by the beauty and wonder of the night sky. Studying stars also helps us understand the universe and our place in it.
Does the sun look like any other star on Pluto?
It would be no brighter than some planets as seen from Earth : brighter than the other stars but not much larger. Since Pluto is so far away from the sun (at a average distance of 3,670,050,000 miles), the sun would look much dimmer and smaller that it does from here on Earth. From Pluto, the sun would look like a very bright star and would light up Pluto during the day about as much as the full moon lights up Earth at night.
Why do some stars so much larger and brighter than other stars when you look into the night sky?
because the sizes and the distances away from earth are different
Why do stars appear larger in the night sky?
When there is little light like during night time, we can see the stars more clearly. This makes them look brighter and hence, larger.
Why does the sun appear bigger and brighter than the other stars?
The sun appears bigger and brighter than other stars because it is much closer to Earth compared to the distant stars. Stars are actually suns, but they look tiny and faint because of their immense distance from us.
Is Polaris brighter than other stars?
Look up in the sky and you will see. Polaris is actually quite dim, compared to other stars and planets. Even at it's dimmest, Mars is brighter than Polaris.
Why do billions of stars appear as big patches of the night sky?
Those stars are too far away for us to see them individually, but their combined light makes part of the night sky look brighter.
Why does the sun look very much bigger and brighter than other star?
Because it is closer to us than other stars.
What is an instrument that makes stars look brighter and closer?
a teliscope
Why does the moon look brighter than the stars?
moon is too nearer to earth than stars
Why other stars than the Sun are seen only at night and not during daytime?
The illumination of the sky during daylight is much brighter than that of most stars. But, if you know EXACTLY where to look, you can (with your eyes or a telescope) see some bright stars during parts of the day when the Sun is not too high in the sky.
Why does the sun look bigger and brighter than all the other stars?
The sun appears bigger and brighter than other stars because it is much closer to Earth - only about 93 million miles away. Other stars are much farther away, making them appear much smaller and dimmer in comparison. Additionally, the sun is a relatively large and bright star compared to many others in the universe.
Why does the sun look brighter than other stars?
The sun appears brighter than other stars because it is much closer to us than any other star. The intensity of light we receive from a star decreases with distance, so stars farther away appear dimmer. Additionally, the sun is a relatively hot and luminous star compared to many others, further contributing to its brightness.
Why do some stars look brighter than others?
Stars look brighter than others due to factors such as their size, temperature, and distance from Earth. A larger and hotter star will appear brighter, as will a star that is closer to us. The brightness of a star as seen from Earth is measured by its apparent magnitude.
