Because the Earth rotates on its axis
From east to west.
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
Planets appear to move through the background of stars because they orbit the Sun at different speeds. As the Earth and other planets move in their orbits, their positions relative to the background stars change, causing them to appear to move across the sky. This is known as planetary 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.
From your right (East) to your left (West) moving behind you.
stars dont move, but as we move they appear to.
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!!!!!
Stars appear to move with the seasons due to the Earth's orbit around the sun. As the Earth revolves around the sun, the position of the stars we see at night changes throughout the year. This creates the illusion that stars are moving across the sky along with the changing seasons.
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.
Earth rotates on its axis The moon orbits the Earth The sun IS a star so stars move the same way Earth takes a year to orbit the sun Moon takes a month to orbit the earth Earth takes a day to orbit around its axis The Sun does NOT move
They appear to move across the sky because of the position of the viewer on a rotating planet with a moving field of view.
the planets orbit the Sun at varying speeds, causing them to appear to move against the fixed backdrop of stars as seen from Earth. This apparent motion is due to the Earth's own movement around the Sun, which creates the illusion of planets traversing the sky over time.
