It is not really a case of the star moving in the stars, but us moving around the sun. As we do so, different stars appear to be behind it. If you take any object and stand a distance away from it and then walk around it while always looking towards it, what appears to be behind it changes as you go around it. If you face away from it and do the same thing, what you are looking at also changes. That is what happens as we orbit the sun. The sun appears to move in the stars and what we see when we face away from it at night also changes during the year it takes us to go around it. The sun and our solar system are also moving too, but we don't notice that as much.

It is now known that the celestial objects which appear to move backwards among the stars are?
Planets
In which constellation will you find the bright star?
There are several bright stars. Planets move around the Ecliptic, covering 13 constellations or so. Note that planets look like stars, but are not currently considered stars. Also note that some of the planets look brighter (to us) than any real star. Other than planets, the brightest stars are the Sun (also changes through the constellations of the Ecliptic), Sirius (Canis Major), Canopus (Carina), and Toliman (Centaurus).
What planets are called the wandering stars?
All of them because they wander around in the sky and move between different constellatons, while the stars stay 'fixed'. They move in orbits round the Sun and all of them keep within a narrow belt of the sky near a line called the ecliptic that defines the plane of the Earth's orbit.
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....
Why the star are moving?
the stars don't move the earth rotates and that's why we think we see the stars move
As seen from the Earth the Sun appears to move eastward along the ecliptic among the stars. What is the possible reason for this?
This is the result of Earth's orbital movement around the Sun.
Which is the wandering planet?
All the planets move continuously among the fixed stars, so they were called the wandering stars.The planets all move in or near a fixed plane. As they wander they all appear to stay close to the plane of the Earth's orbit, which is the ecliptic.
What appears to move backwards among the stars?
Planets do that, during part of their orbit.

What are carnivorous echinoderms that move by creeping slowly along the ocean floor?
sea stars
What the objects that move among the stars were called during ancient times?
planets, meaning the wanderers.
The strip of the sky which the Sun the Moon and the bright planets appear to move?
Ecliptic
What is the belt off constellations through which all the planets move is called?
The ecliptic
Solar energy moves from the sun to earth by?
In Astronomy, the sun and stars move all along the Earth together.
