What else can I help you with?
Do the stars rise in the sky from the east?
Earth rotates toward the east, so all stars appear to rise in the east.
What moves that causes the stars to rise and set?
The stars really don't move. The Earth does all the movement.
What direction will the moon rise from in Pittsburgh tonight?
The moon, the sun and the stars all rise in the east and set in the west due to the rotation of the earth.
Do the sun moon and stars appear to rise in the east and set in the west because of the rotation of the moon?
The sun, moon, and stars all appear to rise in the east and set in the west due to the Earth's rotation on its axis. This rotation causes all celestial bodies to appear to move across the sky from east to west. The moon's own orbit around the Earth affects its position, but it does not directly impact the sun and stars.
Why you see the sun rise in the east everyday?
This is because Earth rotates towards the East. As a result, the Sun, the Moon, and the stars all seem to rise in the east, and go towards the west.
What are stars located near the Earths poles that can be seen year-round at all times of night called?
Stars located near the Earth's poles that can be seen year-round at all times of night are called circumpolar stars. These stars appear to rotate around the pole and do not rise or set like other stars in the sky due to the Earth's rotation.
Do all stars in sky move explain?
Yes, they do. They revolve around the galactic center.
When viewing west in which direction do stars set?
Whether you view west or in some other direction, many stars will rise in the east and set in the west. However, stars that are far north, for example, might rise in the north-east and set in the north-west; some stars might even rise and set almost north. Similarly, other stars may rise in the south-east, and set in the south-west, etc.
when the sun comes up where do the stars go?
For the moment, let us just think about one motion - - Earth's spin (or rotation) on its axis. Earth rotates or spins toward the east, and that's why the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars all rise in the east and make their way westward across the sky.
Is the sun moon and stars on the surface or beneath the earth?
Neither. The sun, moon, and stars are all well outside the Earth
Do circumpolar stars rise in the east?
No they do not. By definition circumpolar stars do not "rise". They are above the observer's horizon at all times.
How do shooting stars travel so fast if there is no gravity?
Although shooting stars are not affected by the Earth's gravity, they are still pulled by other planets and stars. All of the shooting stars visible on Earth orbit the sun, just like the earth itself.
