RE: Why do some stars fall at night in the sky?

in #stemng • 7 years ago

Stars have for long had my attention and I wouldn't say stars fall.. Because i have read that they are bigger than the earth which would mean disaster as you have stated.
Also there is no gravity in space so how come they fall since a law in physics "states that a body would remain in its initial state of rest else acted upon by an external force."
So i didn't actually believe the falling star myth when i got to know few things.
But one thing that interests me is that some glow than the other.

Why is it so?

    Lol @ adetola, I guess you must have believed in this before you got to know few things.

    In response to your question, I can summarize from this article, the following :

    As you can see from NASA diagram above, It was observed that Stars with less mass than the sun are usually smaller and cooler, which become much fainter in visible light.

    1. That they come in a variety of sizes. Larger stars usually shine more brightly than smaller stars do.
    2. That they are not at the same DISTANCE from earth. The closer a star is to the earth, the brighter it will appear to us
