The sun and most other stars appear to move through the sky from?
From east to west.
Why do stars appear to move across the sky during the night?
stars don't move across the sky, we orbit the sun, as you should know, and as we orbit the sun we see the stars as moving but in all actuality we are just changing position and seeing the stars at a different perspective
Do stars appear to wander off their star paths?
stars dont move, but as we move they appear to.
Toward which direction do the stars appear to move throughout the night and what is the reason for motion?
Just like the Sun and the Moon, stars appear to move towards the west. The reason is that Earth rotates in the opposite direction - towards the east.
When you face north the sun and the stars appear to move from to?
From your right (East) to your left (West) moving behind you.
Why do patterns of stars in the sky stay the same although they appear to move across the sky nightly?
The patterns appear the same because the stars are so far away that their movement is not apparent to our eyes. They move across the sky because the earth is rotating and that makes it look like the stars are moving. Just like the sun does not move across the sky, the earth rotates and the sun appears to move, the same is with the stars.
Why do stars and the sun appear different?
Stars appear different from the sun because the sun is closer to the earth and the other stars are further away from the earth so that's why the appear differently when you look at them in the sky!!!!!
Do stars move like the sun?
Stars don't move at all, not even the sun. The Earth orbits around the sun to make it LOOK like the sun is moving. So no stars move.
Why do constellations seems to move across the sky?
It's the Earth's daily rotation that causes stars to appear to move around the sky, in 23 hours 56 minutes.The Sun appears to take 4 minutes extra, because we are also orbiting round the Sun. So it seems to go "backwards" slightly compared with the stars.
Do stars move as much as the moon?
Stars do not move, but the moon orbits. Stars appear to move because we are moving.
Do the stars and the and sun move across the sky?
They appear to move across the sky because of the position of the viewer on a rotating planet with a moving field of view.
Do stars ever move?
No, the earth is moving. Stars just appear to make counterclockwise orbits when really stars - including our sun - stay still. So earth is just rotating and the stars appear to be moving to us.For a good animation to explain more see:http://media.photobucket.com/image/the%20earth%20and%20stars/mindexplosion/animatedearthwithstars.gifYes, specially when they break up with their couple, the have to MOVE on. :DNow, going back to serious, some of them move just as the earth moves around the sun and the moon comes along with the earth, so that means the moon does move as well, but there are other stars that move, that is why there appear once in a while some kind of falling stars....
