What you get when stars are moving away?
When stars or galaxies are moving away from the observer, you will notice a redder shift in the color of the body.
Why do stars shift westward?
Stars appear to shift westward because of the Earth's daily rotation. Also, there is a slower westward movement because of the annual motion of the Earth around the Sun.
What causes the stars in the sky to appear to be moving?
The Earth's rotation. The relation between the Earth (or a person on the Earth) and the position of the stars makes it appear that the stars are in a different position as the night progresses.
Why do stars appear to move across the sky from season to season?
Because Earth is moving so we are the ones moving.
When you face north the sun and the stars appear to move from to?
From your right (East) to your left (West) moving behind you.

If the Earth rotates from the west to the east why do the sun and stars move from the east to the west?
They are not actually, moving, they just appear to be moving because we are. Consider that if you are on a train moving forward, objects that you pass by appear to move toward the read of the train.
What kind of shift do stars have that are moving towards us?
Rotat

Does the medium of space make distance stars appear to be more red shifted only because they are farther away?
Distant stars appear red shifted because they are travelling away from Earth. It just happens that more distant stars are moving faster, so there is a greater red-shift the further a star is from the Earth.
Do stars move as much as the moon?
Stars do not move, but the moon orbits. Stars appear to move because we are moving.
Why does the pattern of stars in the constellations stay the same?
They actually don't. All the stars are moving. However, they are so far away that the movement is imperceptible by someone, even in their lifetime. So to us, they appear to be the same. Scientists that study them can determine that they are moving though.
Do stars move from east to west?
stars do not move at all. what you are seeing is the earths rotation. The stars seem to set with the sun and the moon because weare turning. (earth's axis)
