Answer to Problem 1QP

Option (c) are relatively close to one another in Earth’s sky.

Explanation of Solution

Constellations are the group of stars which makes some visible pattern or picture of known object in the sky.

These constellations are formed by grouping relatively close stars that appears on the sky when seen from the Earth’s surface.

Conclusion:

The constellations are group of stars which are present closely on the sky. Thus, option (A) is incorrect.

The constellations are group of stars which are present closely on the sky. Thus, option (B) is incorrect.

The constellations are group of stars which are present closely on the sky. Thus, option (C) is correct.

The constellations are group of stars which are present closely on the sky. Thus, option (D) is incorrect.
