Great thinking BR! Check out the moon this weekend, Saturday around 11:00. It will appear very large because it will be very close to Earth! Do you know how many miles away it will be?

ITs different constellations in different seasons because the earth revolves around the sun and when we revolve around the sun the earth is moving to a different place when the stars that make up the constellation stay in the same spot and at different angles and places we see different constellations. Did you follow me? CM red

since we are revolving around the sun we see different parts of space so we are going to see different parts of constlations and on a night were the moon is blocking a ceartian part of the earth so we wont be able to see the sky much at all we wuld have no stars for certain areas ks green
