Question

The set of stars in the sky is finite or infinite​

Answer 1

The number of stars visible in the sky is limited.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The material cosmos, according to Aristotle, must be spatially finite, because stars that extend to infinity could not complete a complete rotation around Earth in 24 hours. Because space is essentially a container for material bodies, it must be finite as well.

• There are only so many stars in the universe. The distribution of stars isn't even close to being uniform. So, for example, there may be an infinite number of stars, but they would hide behind one another, occupying only a finite angular area.

• As the Universe expands, distant stars become red-shifted and fade into obscurity.

• Even though the number of stars is limited, it is still sufficient to light up the entire sky, implying that the total amount of luminous stuff in the Universe is too massive to allow this escape. For the purpose of lighting up the sky, the number of stars is near to infinity.  If the stars are dispersed fractally, enormous expanses of empty space may exist, making the sky appear gloomy except in small locations.
