Why the star move relative to earth and fixed relative to each other?

This is an illusion due to the vast distances between the stars and the Earth's spin. The stars themselves are moving quite quickly, the Earth spinning on it's axis only adds to this cosmic slight of hand by turning under them. The movement of the stars is over vast distances greater than you can imagine. Always remember, most of the movement observed is the Earth moving not the stars. Our eyes simply cannot detect it over the vast light years.


Why does the sun remain on a fixed place?

It does not. The sun is moving both relative to the earth and to other stars.

Why is the sun different from other stars in the universe?

It is not different, just closer to the Earth.


Why do different stars appear during different seasons?

Different stars appear in the night sky during different seasons because Earth's orbit around the sun causes us to see different portions of the sky at different times of the year. As the Earth moves, our perspective changes, making certain stars visible or hidden based on their position relative to us. This phenomenon is why we see different constellations and stars during different seasons.


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!!!!!

How do geologists know that the earh is still moving?

Geologists study the earth, its composition the forces working on it. They know the earth is an active system by observing earthquakes and the slow creep of the tectonic plates Astronomers and astrophysicists study the stars and planets and their relative motions. They know the Earth moves by studying the relative positions of the other planets against the Earth and each other and the against the more distant stars.


What is the distance from earth to scorpius?

Each star in Scorpius is a different distance from the other stars.


Why are constellations seen at different places and time?

Constellations appear to be in different places at different times due to the Earth's rotation on its axis. As the Earth rotates, the position of the observer relative to the stars changes, causing different constellations to become visible. This is why different constellations can be seen in the night sky at different times and in different locations on Earth.


What are the stars that make up the constellations?

Constellations are patterns of stars that are viewed from Earth. The stars in constellations are at varying distances from us and are not physically related to each other in space. They appear to form shapes due to our perspective from Earth.


What is one scientific field of astronomy?

Astrometry: The study of the movement of the stars relative to the position of the Earth to determine precise measurements and distances from the Earth to those stars.
