What is a constellation?
General KnowledgePhysics
- AA particular pattern of equidistant stars from the earth in the sky.
- BA particular pattern of stars that may not be equidistant from the earth in the sky.
- CA particular pattern of planet of our solar system in the sky.
- DA particular pattern of stars, planets and satellites in the sky due to their position in the space.
Explanation
A constellation is a recognisable pattern of stars in the sky as seen from Earth. The stars forming the pattern lie at very different distances from us - they only appear grouped in projection. It is not a pattern of equidistant stars, nor of planets or satellites. Hence option B is correct.
