Question

What is a constellation?

• A. Different stars making a particular pattern.
• B. The twinkling of stars.
• C. The same star making different patterns.
• D. Moving stars making different patterns.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Different stars making a particular pattern.


Constellations are a group of stars making a particular shape that makes a recognisable structure to the human brain. The stars do not move; they stay in one place. The Earth moves and because of this, it may seem like the stars are slowly moving.
