Where might you find the celestial sphere celestial equator and celestial poles?

These are imaginary locations in the sky. The "celestial sphere" is a blanket term for everything beyond the Earth. The celestial equator is the plane of the Earth's equator extended out into space. The "celestial poles" are extensions of the north pole and south pole into space. It's sometimes convenient to describe objects out in space with reference to terrestrial coordinates.

Where is an object that is stationary relative to earths surface moving faster relative to space?

Objects that are "stationary" on Earth's surface are moving faster nearer the equator. The eastward motion of the rotating Earth is greatest at the equator (about 1037 mph or 1670 kph).


What splits the sky in two from north to south?

There is an imaginary plane through the Earth that splits the world into "north" and "south". The circle around the Earth where that plane meets the Earth's surface is called the "equator". In astronomy, we extend that plane into space; this is the "celestial equator". With geography on the Earth, we measure this in latitude north or south of the equator. In astronomy, we call it "declination", but it's the same idea.
