Why don't we say there the star shines?

Astronomy: Unusual sunrise and sunset dates in December – how to explain them astronomically?
For Harald Lesch or astronomy freaks: I looked at the data from Karlsruhe in December and have the following questions: https://www.sunrise-and-sunset.com/de/sun/deutschland/karlsruhe 1. December 22nd, the winter solstice, is generally considered the shortest day of the year. Why, however, is the earliest sunset of the year (4:28 p.m.) already in early/mid-December (i.e., tomorrow)? Why is it…
Why are my pictures from the telescope bad?
ByDudel06
I recently bought a telescope. National Geographic 114/900 AZ However, I can't get good pictures with this telescope and the view through the eyepiece isn't as good as it should be. For example, when I look at small stars, I see them reflected three times on a triangle. Furthermore, I cannot see any details on…
Stern magazine?
Hi 🙂 I received a magazine like this from Stern today (€5.50). To my knowledge, I've never subscribed to anything like this. So far, nothing has been debited from my account, and I don't know if I've done so. My question is, where can I go to find out if I've subscribed, and is it…
Can someone mean my zodiac sign picture?
I've just done a birth chart test, but I'm not very familiar with astrology. Can someone explain to me what the planets and their placements mean, and what kind of person this is supposed to be according to my astrological chart? Thanks.
Does anyone know what kind of star or planet this is?
It's been right next to the moon all evening. I just took this picture, not the best camera, I know.
What is the difference between singularity and ring singularity?
Hello Every black hole supposedly has a singularity, but also a ring singularity. What is the difference between these two things?
Hello,
there are trillions (+more) stars that all need a name. With this you can recognize them and distinguish them from others, which is why someone has to have come to the name “Stern”.
The sun is a star called the sun.
Polaris is zb a name for another star and it is then also called so and not just star.
Star means a fixed star in the night sky, so you can’t transfer it 1:1 to the sun. For men, however, the sun has always been there, long before you knew that the sun is a star and the stars are only suns. From the individual languages the word sun has finally formed, depending on the language of course with another word.
Probably the sun was called before you knew what a star was. Only later has it been recognized what stars are and that the sun is also one.
the name comes from a time when you did not know that the sun is a star.
That’s the name of the star. Most stars in the night sky have names or numbers.
In the past, one could not imagine that such a small point, first so big and secondly so far away.
Funnyly, the same stars in different cultures had other names, so one had to agree.
Tradition.
In the past, one did not know that this is the same kind of astronomical objects.
Name: Our sun is in principle a star, but – like many other stars – it has a name: sun.
“Sonne” is the name for the star in German. Many stars that we can observe from Earth have their own names, such as Sirius, one of the brightest stars.
Because it is our very special star to express it romanticized.
Because we called our star. Somehow we must be able to distinguish our star from the others. Apart from that, you’re talking to your father by name and not with “human”, aren’t you?
Because you thought the sun was unique
In English it is a star in the world!
And “the sun” is just a British newspaper, or
…and “sun.”
the sun is called in English “sun”
nö, sun
a stranger has no (known) name for you, but you know how your wife or child is.
the people have baptized the life-giving light just before thousands of years of “sonne”, and since a few hundred years we also know that it is also just a stinky star of the main series like billions of others.

Why do you call people and not vertebrates?
