All the motions and changes you see are a result of four simple facts: 1.The Earth is spinning on its axis, one turn every 24 hours. 2.The Moon is orbiting around the Earth, one orbit every 27.3 days. 3.The Earth and all the other planets are orbiting the Sun, all in the same direction, and all in roughly the same plane (i.e. it's like they are all laid out on a large dinner plate with the Sun at the centre). The outer planets orbit more slowly than the inner planets. 4. The stars are stationary. (They do, in fact, move very quickly. But they are so far away that the motion appears to us to be too slow to perceive without special instruments.)

Stars appear to move across the sky each night because the earth is moving, but not the stars. Also some stars are only visible during certain seasons because as the earth rotates, they become visible.

What are the Britain stone rings?
Stone rings and rows of stones are a common feature across Britain and parts of France. We don't know for sure what all of them were used for, though some of them definitely have an astronomical purpose. Some are arranged so that a certain star is visible on a certain night of the year. They mark the beginning of the seasons, so they may have been used for predicting when to plant crops. Rows of stones in northern France may have been used as a primitive seismometer for recording earthquakes (that region of France is prone to earthquakes.) As far as their age, we don't even know that for certain, though they certainly are several thousand years old.
