Think of it as if you were riding a carousel; the other horses seem to stay still while the park around you is spinning. We know that it's actually US that's spinning, while the world is standing still.
Except, the world is NOT standing still; it's spinning, too! We see ourselves as sitting still on the Earth, while the Sun, Moon, and stars rise in the east and set in the west - except that the Sun is stationary in the center of our solar system, and it's the Earth itself that spins.
Why do searts appear to move westward across the sky?
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.
They appear to move on a great hollow sphere
there is 88 constelations in the night sky5 million
the earths rotation
The sky does not move and you must be complete looney.
They appear to move across the sky because of the position of the viewer on a rotating planet with a moving field of view.
since earth rotates, the constellations will seem to move across the sky.
because the earth moves(:
east to west
stars don't move across the sky, we orbit the sun, as you should know, and as we orbit the sun we see the stars as moving but in all actuality we are just changing position and seeing the stars at a different perspective
The strip of the sky through which the sun, moon, and brightest planets appear to move in the course of a year is known as the ecliptic.
