what constellation is that?If our solar system is a part of constellation?No. A constellation is just an arrangement of stars. Since the sun appears to move across the sky relative to the other stars, it can't be part of a constellation. Think of it like this. You're in an opening surrounding by forest. In the centre of the opening is a single small tree. You can walk in circles around the tree. The forest around you represents the other stars, and the tree you walk around represents the sun. The tree you walk around appears to move quite a bit, of course. So you couldn't consider it part of any group of the other trees. Similarly, Earth moves around the sun, so the sun appears to move a lot, and thus can't be considered part of another constellation. Now if somebody from a planet orbiting a different star saw the sun, they could say it is part of whatever constellation they see. In fact, from Alpha Centauri, the sun would appear to be part of the constellation Cassiophia.
Bernie R has "constellation" and "galaxy" confused. The Galaxy itself is not a constellation. But yes, the sun is in the galaxy.If our solar system is a part of constellation?
Depends what mythical god or beast that another planets' inhabitants would imagine they are seeing, using our sun as part of that constellation.If our solar system is a part of constellation?it isnt.
from other stars our sun appears in different constellations. from alpha centauri, for example, our sun is in cassiopeia and turns it from a w in to a zigzag pattern.
That depends upon what vantage point you're looking at the Sun from. However, if you somehow went to the Alpha Centauri system, the nearest one to the Sun, the constellations that you would see there for the most part would be the same, with a few notable exceptions. One of them would be that Perseus has an extra first magnitude star, which would be the Sun.If our solar system is a part of constellation?First, for Bernie, the Milky Way is *not* a constellation.
Now, the only constellation are the ones we create. They are groups of bright stars that appear to draw a picture in the sky. Since, seen in our sky, all other parts of our solar sytem move around, they aren't parts of constellation.
On other planets, around other stars, if there were intelligent observers making constellations, yes, they could choose our sun as one of the points in one of their constellations. In fact, some astronomy software will let you see the sky as it would look from other stars, and you can imagine your own constellations. But at this time, that's all hypothetical.If our solar system is a part of constellation?
That could only be told if U were on another world.
If one were to travel to our closest stellar neighbor, Alpha Centauri, our sun could be a part of the constellation Cassiopeia. If you would travel in another direction, the sun would be a part of another, different constellation. If you travel very far away from the sun, you would not recognize any of the constellation we know here on Earth.If our solar system is a part of constellation?
NO. Constellations are a relative grouping of the stars as are seen from the Earth. If you would see the stars of Orion constellation (or any constellation) from another planet system, it would be very different. The Orion belt (Alnitak, Mintaka and Alnilam) look as they would be a group but those stars are very far one to the others.
Constellations are nothing more than star patterns as seen from our location in space. Therefore we are not part of any constellation, because we are right in the middle of all the constellations.
Constellation are just patterns of stars, and our solar system is not a star. It's just part of a galaxy.
Our solar system is a part of the milky way constellation.
