What else can I help you with?
Why do you think some smaller planet are heavier than the bigger ones?
They are much denser. it's the same with stars and neutron stars. Neutron stars are many times smaller than the original star but much heavier because they are so denser
Why stars appear as points while planets appear as discs?
Stars are usually much farther away from us than planets, so they appear as points of light due to their vast distance. Planets are relatively close to Earth in comparison and have a visible circular shape since they reflect the light from the Sun, making them appear as discs in the night sky.
Why do bigger stars die more quickly?
Bigger stars get hotter, and use up their fuel much faster than smaller stars.
What is the actual amount of light a star gives off?
It is actually absolute magnitude, opposed to apparent magnitude which is how much light stars appear to give off.
Why do stars at night look smaller than the moon?
Stars appear smaller than the moon because they are much farther away from Earth compared to the moon. The moon is relatively close to us, which is why it appears larger in the sky. Additionally, the brightness of the moon makes it more visible and noticeable compared to the dim light of stars.
Why are stars in the night sky so much smaller than our star?
They are not. The stars at night only appear smaller than the sun because they are much farther away.
Why are other stars so faint?
Other stars appear faint because they are much farther away from the Earth than our Sun, making their light appear dimmer when it reaches us. Additionally, the brightness of a star depends on its size and temperature, with cooler, smaller stars appearing fainter than hotter, larger ones. The vast distances involved in space also contribute to the apparent faintness of stars.
Why do stars look smaller than our sun when you see them at night?
The stars are further away, and so they appear smaller. The sun is actually a star. The sun is just closer to the earth then any other star. The further away the earth is the smaller stuff looks. like when your in a airplane and you are high in the sky when you look down every thing looks smaller than it actully is. It is just like this.
Why are some star appear big or small in your eyes?
It depends on the size, distance, and luminosity of a star. Our Sun looks quite big in the sky compared to other stars but only because it is so much closer. It is actually quite small compared to others but they are a much greater distance away. And lastly, dim stars can be close to Earth but don't appear very big or bright because they don't give off much light.
Why do stars appear distant if you supposedly only see the light that they emit?
All sight its based on the light that objects either emit, reflect, or refract. The stars are little different in this regard. We judge distance using a number of different cues, a number of which indicate that the stars are far away.More distant objects will tend to appear smaller. The stars appear small.Any object that blocks a portion of the sky will block the stars from view, so we know the stars are more distant than those objects.When we move, objects we are looking at appear to change position relative to us. The farther away they are, the smaller the change. No matter how much we move there is no apparent change in the position of the stars, meaning they must be very far away.Indeed, the stars are much farther away than they appear to be as we are not able to perceive such distances directly.
Why are the stars in the sky so much smaller than the sun?
They appear smaller as they are so far away. If you had a model of the solar system in your room, with all the planets and the sun at the centre, the next nearest stars on that model would have to be placed many miles away to be on the same scale.
Is the sun bigger or smaller than other stars?
Our sun is about average compared to other stars. Some are much smaller (white dwarfs) and others are much larger.
Moon is smaller than star but appear bigger from earth?
Correct. The moon appears larger than the stars because it is much closer to us.
Are red stars bigger than blue stars?
Red stars can be smaller or larger than blue stars as there are two types of red star. Red dwarfs are much smaller than blue stars while red giants are much larger than blue stars.
Why does the sun look bigger than stars?
The sun looks bigger than stars because it is much closer to Earth compared to the stars. Stars are actually much larger than the sun, but their distance makes them appear smaller in the sky. The sun's brightness and proximity to Earth make it appear larger and more dominant.
Why do the stars seem smaller than the sun?
Stars appear smaller than the Sun because they are much farther away from Earth. The Sun is the closest star to us, so it appears much larger and brighter than other stars in the night sky. Additionally, our eyes perceive the size of objects based on their brightness and proximity, which can make stars seem smaller in comparison to the Sun.
Why are stars in the night sky so much smaller than your star?
The sun is much closer than the the stars we see at night
