Measuring constellations!

 Measuring constellations!  

 

Hello everybody! I hope you had a great Easter holiday and ate lots of chocolate. Today I am going to tell you how to measure a few famous constellations with you hand because sometimes it is hard to tell how big they will be in the sky. Let's get started...

Your index finder should be about a degree across and it will easily cover the moon.🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘🌙🌚🌛🌜🌝

Next, you could try measuring 3 degrees by holding up your 3 middle fingers in front4 of you.

For 10 degrees, raise your fist like a policeman. For all of these, make sure they are each the same distance away from you.

While clenching your fist, stretch out your thumb and index finger to show around 20 degrees.

The good thing about all these measuring tricks is that it doesn't matter how old you are because you arm's length is proportional to the size of your hand.  

I hope you enjoyed this post and are having fun at trying these tricks,

 

Bye!🪐🪐🪐
