Question

Match the following constellations with their shapes.

• A. Hunter
• B. W or M
• C. Bear

Answer 1

In the night sky, we see millions of stars. Some of them are grouped into recognizable shapes or patterns. These are called constellations. Some constellations are so bright that we can identify them in the night sky easily with a naked eye. These are Orion, Ursa Major or Big Dipper or Great Bear, Cassiopeia, etc. Among them, Orion looks like a hunter, Ursa Major looks like a bear, and Cassiopeia resembles the English letter 'W' or 'M'.
