|---|---|---|
| Star | shines with its own light | Sirius is brighter than Pole Star |
| Constellation | defined sky region with noticeable star pattern | Orion is a constellation |
| Pole Star | appears nearly fixed in North | use it as reference |
| Solar System | Sun, planets, moons and smaller objects | Sirius is outside it |
