Question 7 • AZ-Earth and Space Science A (SC301)

Which statement accurately describes binary star systems?

Answer
A
They have more than two stars.
B
They have stars that are always visible.
C
They include large groups of stars.
D
They have stars that might appear to wobble.

Explanation

A binary star system consists of two stars orbiting a shared center of mass. Their mutual gravitational pull can make each star appear to wobble, especially when one star is difficult to observe directly. Binary systems are not large groups of stars, and both stars are not necessarily always visible.
