Answer 1

Answer:

Mother's description of the Arizona desert at night is like a vast sea of sand under the mesmerizing star filled night sky. The vast expanse of sand with the ice cold temperatures at night seems a lonely place with little sense of life.

No.3. Generally, the night sky is clear and offers a majestic view of the night sky with a clear visibility of distant galaxies, stars and planets and many extra natural objects.
