True or False? The stars in a constellation are physically close to one another?

Also T or F.


The constellation lying along the ecliptic are collectively referred to as the zodiac.





The seasons are caused by the precession of the Earth鈥檚 axis.








At winter solstice, the Sun is at its southernmost point in the celestial sphere.|||False. One star in a constellation could be a only a few dozen light years away from us, while on right next to it in the constellation might be a galaxy millions of light-years away.





Second answer: True, the zodiac is the set of constellations along the elliptic.





Third answer: False, the seasons are caused by the tilt of the earth's axis, not the precession (the movement of the earth's polar axis around the ecliptic pole, a cycle that takes almost 26,000 years).





Fouth answer: True. At winter soltice, the Sun is as far south as it's going to get.|||F,T,F,T





The bold guy with glasses is also correct.





---Addition---


I've seen they have posted different answers, specially to question about the ecliptic. To make you confident about this answer the constellations that lay on the ecliptic are: Aries, Leo, Taurus, Virgo, Scorpion...and so on. So the answer is True, they are referred as the zodiac.


(It is F,T,F,T)|||false|||first one is true.


i don't know the others.|||F


T


F


T|||1. flase. they only appear from our perspective to be close.





2. true





3. false. the seasons are caused by the Earth's revolution around the sun in the course of a year. Precession causes the pole star to shift, until it will no longer be the pole star, as was the case thousands of years ago.





4. true and false. it depends on whether you mean the winter solstice in the northern or the southern hemisphere.|||the stars are close to our vision, but prolly millions of light years away from each other.|||1) False. The stars in many constellations may *appear* to be close together, but that is strictly because the distances are so great that we can't resolve any range variations. We see stars effectively as bright spots on an incredibly distant background, and really can't resolve them into three dimensions with the naked eye.





2) True





3) Seasons are caused by the tilt of the earth and it's orbit. Precession of the earth's axis will move the orientation of the north pole over time -- such that in millions of years it will not point at the North Star





4) True|||I'd "guess" false?|||The stars in a constellation are relatively close together but not really that close.





F, T, T (though your spelling needs refinement to get the meaning right)|||F. Stars in a constellation are really light years behind one another. In a flat 2-D view, it looks like they're together, but in a 3-D view, some stars are behind each other or in front.





T.





F. Seasons are caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis. Precession is a wobble of the Earth's tilt which completes a cycle every 26,000 years.





F. The Sun remains in the same position. The Earth's tilt causes the Sun to change position in the sky from our perspective.|||the stars are not necessarily close to each other. they are all so far away from us that even though they appear to us to be a little bit over in the sky one may be say 50 light years away and another might be 200 light years away. Even though they exist in a three dimensional space, to us they appear to be dots on a two dimensional surface.





Because the earth's axis is tilted and the earth orbits around the sun causing more or less of the sun's energy to hit the surface is the reason we have seasons. Neither the precession (wobbling like a top spnning down) of the earth's rotation nor the earth's distance to sun has anything to do with it since when it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere, the earth is at its closest point to the sun in its orbit --or its perigee. The North is just tilted away at the time.|||First one false, next one probably true, third one so incredibly false, last one i dunno.





1. the sars only look close because they aremore or less lined up as you head out from Earth, htey areactually billions if not trillions of miles apart, but these distances run paralell to our line of sight so we don;t see the,





Two- I dunno, it just looks right.





Three- Precession takes 20,000 years and it wobbles about three degrees. Yippee. The seasons are caused because Earth has a 22-degree tilt on its axis which does not rotate as we do, so some chunk of Earth is always pitched towards the Sun.|||false





dont know





uhh...false? i dont know what precession means xD the seasons are caused by the fact that the earth's orbit isnt completely circular.





dont know|||f f f t|||False. It is just a line of sight effect


False. Precession takes about 26000 years to go round once


True
