X = Ursa Major
Ursa Major (X) is a constellation or a group of stars which is visible during the season in the early part of the night. Another name for Ursa Major is Great bear. It can be clearly seen in the month of April in the northern part of the sky. It is not a part of our solar system. It resembles a bowl with a handle. It also resembles a big kite with a tail. This constellation is made of 7 bright stars. We can also locate North Star using UrsaMajor as it can be seen revolving around the pole star throughout the year.
102)
The sun or the stars we can see at night appears to be moving from east to west. However, stars do not move around us as. Earth moves on its axis that’s why it appears that the stars are moving. Earth revolves from the west to the east that’s why the stars appear to be moving from east to west.
103)
A = Cassiopeia
B = Ursa Major
C = Orion
D = Leo Major
The number of main stars in Cassiopeia is 5. In the constellation Ursa Major the number of stars is seven. In Orion can be made up of 7 or 8 stars. The constellation Leo Major is made of 9 stars.
104)
The constellations can be used to locate a specific star in a sky full of thousand stars. For example the Orion constellation can be used to find Sirius the brightest star in night sky. Another example is Ursa Major which is being used to locate theNorth Star from ancient times for the purpose of navigation at night.
In our night sky we not only stars but also planets and the satellites of the planets. Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are inner planets. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are called outer planets. Great Bear and Ursa Major are noteworthy constellations present in our sky. The only satellite of Earth moon is also clearly visible in the sky.
