If earth did not rotate could you define the celestial poles and celestial equator?

If Earth did not rotate, the celestial poles would align with the geographic poles, and the celestial equator would align with Earth's equator. The celestial poles are points in the sky that the Earth's axis points towards, and the celestial equator is an imaginary line in the sky directly above the Earth's equator. Without Earth's rotation, these references would be fixed in the sky.


If Earth did not rotate could you still define the celestial poles and celestial equator?

You can't - those things wouldn't exist. Both are defined in terms of Earth's rotation.

How do modern astronomers define a constellation?

Modern astronomers define a constellation as a specific area of the celestial sphere that is bounded by defined coordinates, encompassing a group of stars that may or may not be physically related. There are 88 officially recognized constellations, each with distinct boundaries, which help astronomers and navigators locate celestial objects. Unlike historical interpretations that often emphasized star patterns, the modern definition focuses on the area itself and its use in mapping the sky.

What makes craters on mars?
