Insert the words ';appear to'; between ';Stars'; %26amp; ';shine'; and the statement is true.True or False: Stars shine more brightly on clear winter nights than any other season? 10 points b/a?
With the exception of variable stars, all stars shine with a steady light all the time, consistently.





Moisture in the air is generally lower on clear winter nights, than on humid summer nights, so your astronomical ';seeing'; is, more often than not, better on clear winter nights.
It's a trick question. Thinking about the answer is part of your homework, but I can help you get started.





Think about it ... do the stars know whether it's nighttime or cold or winter where you live? Would they care? Or do they simply do what they've done every day since they were born, that is, consume nuclear fuel and radiate energy??
Atmospheric humidity increases with temperature.In winter with low temperature water content in air will be less and we can see stars more clearly.
