It is actually the Earth that moves, not the stars, but from the surface of the earth it appears that the stars are moving. Stars rise in the east and set in the west, rotating around an apparent "pole" formed by the North Staplus.

∙ 9y agoThe planets appear to move across the sky because of physical processes involved in motion, which includes the rotation of the Earth, and the momentum that causes them to revolve in their orbits around the Sun. The stars in the night sky, by comparison, do not appear to move as much as the relatively nearby planets and as such seem to occupy a fixed position with respect to each other. Throughout the year as the Earth moves in its orbit, and the other planets continue in theirs, the apparent angle against this background of stars of each planet appears to change, hence, their motion can be observed.

∙ 14y agoIt depends where you are on Earth. If you're on the equator, the stars rise and set, east to west. if you're at the north pole, the stars will spin around you in a clockwise motion.

A transverse wave cause its medium to move in what direction?
Perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.
The apparent motion of stars is due to movement of?
The rotation of the Earth makes the stars appear to move in the sky.
What direction does an applied force move an object?
it moves ----------> there for if you were to push the object it will go <--------
How do the particles of energy in a longitudinal wave move?
In a longitudinal wave, the particles do not move with the wave. The particle movement is parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This means that the particles move left and right which in turn makes the other particles start to oscillate. This creates a wave. longitudinal pressure waves are also known as sound waves.
How do waves travel?
there is several ways that waves can move. waves can move by wind. the energy passes to the water causing waves. The better answer. Waves move because they are a movement of energy through a medium. The wave entails two parts, which are the crest and trough. The wavelength is the distance between two crest. The wave height is the distance between a crest and trough.
What direction did Regulus move across the sky from?
Regulus stars appear to move across the sky from East to West (:
What direction does the moon move across the sky at night?
it depends where on the earth you are standing
What direction does the sun moon and stars move across the sky?
Since Earth's surface is rotating toward the east, "fixed" celestial bodies appear to be moving toward the west.
What direction does the moon appear to move across the sky each day?
east 2 west
Do stars move as much as the moon?
Stars do not move, but the moon orbits. Stars appear to move because we are moving.
Which way do the patterns of shadow and light move across the moon?
The Moon travels across the sky in the same direction as the Sun; Its' leading edge is the point at which phase changes start and move from right to left.
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.
What type of waves move across the direction of travel?
Transverse waves will move across the direction of travel.
Which direction does the moon move in as it crosses the sky?
The moon goes in the direction of its orbit
Why does the moon appear to move eastward across the sky?
Each night at the same time the moon is further east because that is the direction that the moon orbits the earth. It gets round in about a month.
How did the Polynesians spread across the Pacific?

What direction do stars move?
east to west
