Question

explain use the earth - sun - moon model. which statements are true about the stars? select all that apply. a. on a given day, you will be able to see only the stars that are in the opposite direction of the sun. b. at opposite sides of earths orbit around the sun, a person at the same location on earth would see the same stars in the night sky. c. the different rising times of constellations in the night sky during the year provide evidence that earth moves around the sun.

Explanation:

• Option A is false because during the night (when the sun - light is not interfering with star - visibility), you can see stars in various directions, not just opposite the sun.
• Option B is false because as Earth orbits the sun, the perspective changes, and different stars are visible at different times of the year from the same location on Earth.
• Option C is true. The changing rising times of constellations throughout the year are due to Earth's orbit around the sun, which changes our vantage point in space.

Answer:

C. The different rising times of constellations in the night sky during the year provide evidence that Earth moves around the sun.
