What are 2 ways in which galaxies can differ from one another?

Constellations are patterns of stars that we see in the sky. There are 88 official constellations, like Leo, Orion, Taurus etc. We are in the galaxy called the Milky Way, as are all the stars you can see in all of those constellations. A galaxy is a massive collection of stars. We can see some other galaxies, such as Andromeda, but they just look like a clump of dust in the sky because they are so far away, and we can't pick out individual stars.

Why are constellations seen at different places and time?

Constellations appear to be in different places at different times due to the Earth's rotation on its axis. As the Earth rotates, the position of the observer relative to the stars changes, causing different constellations to become visible. This is why different constellations can be seen in the night sky at different times and in different locations on Earth.

Are constellations bigger than galaxies?

Contrary to popular belief, constellations are actually very spread out. They are not simply flat against the sky. Rather, the stars may be very different distances apart. The reason they all appear the same is because they are so far away that only a point of light makes it to the earth. With this in mind, it is very difficult to answer this question. The stars that we see with the naked eye are all within 1000 light years.


Who is the ruler of all the constellations?

There isn't a single ruler of all the constellations. Different cultures and belief systems have their own interpretations of the stars and constellations, each with their own unique stories and figures. In astrology, different constellations are associated with different zodiac signs and rulers.
