Regulus stars appear to move across the sky from East to West (:
Stars appear to move across the sky each night because the earth is moving, but not the stars. Also some stars are only visible during certain seasons because as the earth rotates, they become visible.
As the Earth spins on it axis, the stars appear to move across the sky as we see them from the Earths surface. The pole star does not shift much from its position throughout the night though. This is because the axis about which the Earth is turning is pointing in its direction, towards the north (and out towards the south too).
Because Earth is moving so we are the ones moving.
There is no frontwards or backwards, it's just a frame of reference.That's the way Earth orbits and rotates.

Since Earth's surface is rotating toward the east, "fixed" celestial bodies appear to be moving toward the west.
In the northern hemisphere they appear to move counter clockwise; In the southern hemisphere they appear to move clockwise.
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.

cos some are shooting stars and comets! and stars move around
because the earth moves(:
The patterns appear the same because the stars are so far away that their movement is not apparent to our eyes. They move across the sky because the earth is rotating and that makes it look like the stars are moving. Just like the sun does not move across the sky, the earth rotates and the sun appears to move, the same is with the stars.
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

no
They appear to move across the sky because of the position of the viewer on a rotating planet with a moving field of view.
