The rotation of the Earth makes the stars appear to move in a circle, as viewed from the observer's position. The stars are always there, it is just that we can't see them during daylight.

What causes stars to move apparently in one night?

The rotation of the Earth will make stars appear to move in the perception of a viewer. The reality, of course, is they're much to far away to actually move visibly in a single night - their position can vary based on seasons, but relative to one another, there won't be a visible movement. The planets, of course, *do* move, and the observable motion is much greater than that of stars. The word itself comes from "wanderer", in Greek, due to the fact they did move so much in relation to the background, which seemed relatively fixed to observers of the era.

Why do stars and constellation appear to move in the night sky?

Stars and constellations appear to move in the night sky due to the Earth's rotation on its axis. As Earth spins, different stars and constellations become visible while others disappear below the horizon. This motion gives the illusion of stars and constellations moving across the sky.


How did the ancients distinguish between planets and stars in the night sky?
