In the northern hemisphere they appear to move counter clockwise; In the Southern Hemisphere they appear to move clockwise.
stars dont move, but as we move they appear to.
Stars appear to move in the sky due to the rotation of Earth on its axis. As Earth spins, it causes the stars to appear as if they are moving across the sky. This is known as the apparent motion of the stars.
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.
All the planets do orbit the sun in the same direction. However, as we orbit the sun quicker than the planets further out from us, and slower than the ones inside us they do at times appear to be moving the other direction.
The earth is constantly moving eastward, so the stars appear to move westward. This is an optical illusion that is supported by Newton's 3rd Law (every action has an equal and opposite reaction).
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.

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.
They mostly appear to move from east to west but there are epicycles during wich they appear to move from west to east.

During roughly half of the time, 'circumpolar' stars don't appear to move from east to west. Which ones those are depends on your latitude. All other stars all the time, and circumpolar stars for the other half of the time, do appear to move from east to west.
The earth is constantly moving eastward, so the stars appear to move westward. This is an optical illusion that is supported by Newton's 3rd Law (every action has an equal and opposite reaction).
