What is meant by the big dipper is 25 degrees long?

FANTASTIC question !! The sky is measured in degrees - for example: Altitude is measured as follows: the horizon is flat in front of you so we say that's zero degrees, when directly above your head is 90 degrees. Now, Azimuth is measured a different (but similar) way - North is zero degrees, East is 90 degrees, South is 180 degrees, West is 270 degrees, and then you come back to North which is a full circle - or 360 degrees. If you need to find an object in the sky and are given the Altitude and Azimuth - it becomes easy to find. If you make a fist and extend your arm out in front of you, the distance from the bottom of your fist to the top of your fist is APPROXIMATELY 10 degrees on the horizon (or sky). So if you make a fist, extend your arm towards the big dipper, and eyeball your fist so that the pinky side of your fist lines up with the last star of the big dipper, you will see that your fist covers about 10 + degrees of the Dipper. Two and a half of your fists should be the same length as the Big Dipper, which will roughly be 25 degrees. Try it !


How do you calculate angles between stars?

The moon subtends an angle from earth of approximately 1/2 degree. Stars twice as far apart as the diameter of a full moon would therefore be 1 degree apart. Your fist at arm's length subtends approximately 10 degrees. So two stars three fists apart would be about 30 degrees.
