Show TBis ITJeatEier Do the planets and stars tell us anything about the weather? Can a study of the sky at night give us clues as to tomorrow's weather? AS FOR the average reader, a study of the stars is of no immediate, direct use in forecasting the weather. There are astronomers who dig up clues on future weather trends through astronomy, as-tronomy, but no system is as yet proven. If the stars are especially bright, it will probably mean that dust is absent from the sky, and rain might be on the way, or has perhaps only recently ended. THE STARS are too far, away to analyze and the nine planets which we know all circle the sun and are affected by the sun-as is the earth, -which is third nearest the sun. Theretore, the sun affects the weather on the planets, but, as far as is known, none of them affect the weather on the other eight. |
