Question

The Indian name of the Orion constellation is………….
A) Krittika
B) Mriga
C) Bichchu
D) none of these

Answer 1

Hint: The origin of the star takes place in the form of a nebula. The nebula is the formation of a cloud of dust and gas. A star can be born dwarf or dead when the optimum temperature is not reached. When the stars seem to appear in a particular pattern or group, it is called a constellation. These patterns are recognizable in every night sky.

Complete step by step answer:
Constellation is not a discovery; instead, they were devised by ancient people who used them to follow directions at night. Ursa Major is the name of a constellation that is popular. It can be seen easily in the early parts of the night during summertime, and it may consist of five to ten stars or even more. The bright star of the constellation can be visible with the naked eyes.
Ursa Major is also known by other names such as the Big dipper, Great bear, or the Saptarishi. The patterns of the star in the constellation appear like a big spoon in the night sky. The pole star is one of the stars in this constellation. Some parts of this constellation and the pole star might not be visible in the southern hemisphere. Due to earth's rotation, Ursa Major appears to move from east to west direction across the sky.

Therefore the correct option is (D).

Note: Another common constellation of stars in Orion, also known as Hunter. Unlike Ursa Major, Orion is visible during the late evenings of winter. It consists of seven or eight bright stars. Four of the stars form a quadrilateral in the center, of which three-star represent Hunter's belt. Sirius, a shining star, is usually located close to this constellation.
