the table below shows the right ascensions of two stars at a location.
Star 1 - 4 right ascension (in Hour)
Star 2 - 3 right ascension (in Hour)

2) star 1 will rise three hours before star 2
3) star 1 will cross the meridian four hours before star 2
4) star 1 will cross the meridian seven hours before star 2
Star 1 - 4 hours right ascension Star 2 - 3 hours right ascension Subtracting hours right ascension 4 hours right ascension - 3 hours right ascension = 1 hours right ascension. Thus, 1) star 1 will rise 1 hour before star 2
