Question

please help i have some more questions you maybe help me answer

2)Observations of a planet moving among the stars over the course of a year provide evidence that the planet does what?

3)Why are the constellations different in the winter then they are in the summer?

Answer 1

1) Ursus Major, or the Big Dipper.
2) That planets travel around their stars
3) The tilt of the Earth is different (which causes the season in the first place)

Answer 2

Look for the Big Dipper, which is actually Ursa Major, and let the dipper end help you point up to Polaris which is the last star in the handle of the Little Dipper or Ursa Minor. If you take your fingers and use them to measure the distance between the last two stars that make up the end of the dipper, then you go up I think either 3 or 5 spaces you'll find Polaris. I'm sorry if that's confusing... It's much easier for me to explain person to person.

I have no clue about #2...

During the winter the constellations that we see in the summer are in the sky during the daytime and we can not see them due to the Sun. It is reversed for summer, when the winter stars are masked by the Sun. It all depends on how the earth is tilted in regards to the sun.

Answer 3

1.The Big Dipper is used to find Polaris. Find the Big Dipper and look at the two stars that form the outer lip.(end) opposite the handle. following a straight line using these 2 stars, go out until you find the nearest bright star. (going out from the open side of the dipper. That is Polaris. On a clear night, you can always spot the Big Dipper and then find Polaris.
2. exists.
3.As we travel around the sun, We look out at the universe at night an different points. Its like you traveling in a circle on a merry go a round looking outward. You see the in tire park in one round. In the summertime you are looking up and there's the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. In the winter you look up at night and are looking away from the center of the Milky Way. The pattern of stars (constellations) you see each month as you travel around the sun, have a different name.

Answer 4

1. Polaris is located as the last star in the handle of the little dipper, also known as Ursa minor.
2. Proves that it orbits or moves in relation to the background stars and proves that earth also orbits
3. The earth tilts on it's axis during the different seasons, giving a different view of the night sky.

Answer 5

1.Big dipper or Ursa Major.
3.The constellations don't change. But the sun appears in a different part of the sky in summer and winter.. We cannot see the constellations near the sun because it is daytime when they are above the horizon.

Answer 6

The stars that form the "dipper" opposite the handle of the big dipper are aligned with Polaris. which is also the last star in the handle of the little dipper.
