People living in different latitudes see different parts of the sky. True or False

Asked by lylabethoverstreet32

Answer (2)

People at different latitudes indeed see different parts of the sky due to the Earth's curvature and rotation. This leads to varying visibility of celestial bodies and constellations based on one's geographical position. For example, the Southern Cross is only visible in the Southern Hemisphere. ;

People living in different latitudes do see different parts of the sky, making the statement True. The Earth's curvature and its axial tilt influence the visibility of celestial bodies based on one's geographic location. For instance, observers at the equator can see both hemispheres while those near the poles can only see one hemisphere.
