Answers
Answer:
1) Which observation provides the best evidence that Earth revolves around the sun? "1) Stars seen from Earth appear to circle Polaris.
Explanation:
2)As Earth spins on its axis, we, as Earth-bound observers, spin past this background of distant stars. As Earth spins, the stars appear to move across our night sky from east to west, for the same reason that our Sun appears to “rise” in the east and “set” in the west.
Answer:
1. The direct observational evidence for Earth's revolves around the sun is the apparent shift of nearby stars after six months, as the Earth moves from one side of its orbit to the other. So, the evidence that Earth revolves around the Sun is the seasonal changes in the apparent positions of constellations.
2. As the earth rotates on its axis, the constellations and stars in them appear to move across our night sky from east to west.
3. Constellations are made of stars that are completely unrelated to each other. All the stars within a constellation are labeled with the name of that constellation. Only common thing is they appear near each other in the sky when viewed from Earth.
4. A group of three stars that appears directly overhead in the early evening beginning in mid-May in a part of the Philippines, generally indicates the start of the rainy season. This constellation comprises the three brightest stars known as Aquila the Eagle.
