Are the constellations that we can see different in eastern Europe to the ones seen in Canada?

Answer 1

Only with respect to the time at which they can be seen. Typically, the major differences are between the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere. Canada and Europe are both in Northern Hemisphere.

Answer 2

The constellations seen in eastern Europe are the same as people see in Canada, or Alaska, or the U.S, etc.

Since we are all at a similar latitude to each other, when we look up we see roughly the same thing.

Try this. Picture a basketball on a stool in the center of your room. You paint different dots on your ceiling and on your floor. The people on the top of that basketball would all see the dots on your ceiling and the people on the bottom half of the basketball would see the dots on the floor. There would be some overlap, but the people on the top of the ball can't see the dots on the floor, and the people on the bottom can't see the dots on the ceiling.

But as the ball rotates, all the people on the top see different parts of the same ceiling. This is why we see different constellations during different seasons.

I hope this helps.

Happy star gazing. :)

Answer 3

No, you're approximately the same latitude. And it's not just by hemisphere, people in Thule, Greenland will see a very different sky than people in Guyana, despite both being the same hemisphere.

Answer 4

Which stars you can see depends on your latitude, not your longitude. Places at the same latitude will see the same stars, though not, of course, at the same time. As you move further south, more of the southern sky becomes visible.

At the equator, all of the sky is visible over the course of the year, though stars near the celestial poles never rise very high. As you move south from the equator, northern stars disappear from view.

Answer 5

Your question reminds me of President Bush's visit to Mexico when he said to president Fox, "Oh, I see you have a Moon too." The constellations are the same.

Answer 6

NO The people in the nor then hemisphere see the same the world round. there is a difference between the nor then hemisphere and the southern hemisphere.
