Why don't the stars in constellations ever "fall"???

Answer 1

Because 'stars' don't fall. "Falling star" are tiny little piece of rock and dust floating in space called meteoroids. When the meet the earth's atmosphere they are called meteors, and if the actually make to the ground...meteorites. Most of these are not larger than a grain of rice...quite small.

Real stars don't "fall" They are giant balls of gas that are burning really bright and are very, very far away. The sun is a star as well, only much closer.

Clear Skies!

Answer 2

Because Stars DONT FALL. A "falling" Star is really a comet flying through the sky!

Answer 3

Things fall to Earth because Earth's gravity pulls them there. But Earth's gravity gets weaker and weaker with distance. At the distance of the stars Earth's gravity is practically zero. But even it it wasn't, the distance is so far that the stars would take millions of years to fall that far, so even if they were falling, you couldn't notice it over a period as short as all recorded human history.

Answer 4

The term 'falling stars' doesn't mean the stars are actually falling.

Falling stars are just comets or asteroids we see from earth.

The real stars aren't falling anywhere.

Answer 5

Stars have their own gravity like our sun has gravity. therefore stars have no place to fall vecause they are "already there?" Falling stars are rock debris flying through our atmosphere.

Answer 6

???
Is this a question or a poetry?
Meteor commonly called a Falling Star!

Answer 7

Fall where?

They're so far away that our gravity has zero effect on them. They aren't just on our "ceiling".

Answer 8

Huh?
