Why does it seem that the sun and the stars move across the sky?

The apparent movement of the sun and stars across the sky is due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis. As the Earth rotates, it gives the illusion that the sun and stars are moving across the sky from east to west. This movement is responsible for the cycle of day and night.

The stars appear to move across the sky at night is this true?

YES!!! Because '- #1 the Earth is rotating so it appears that the stars move across the sky. #2 the Stars in their own right also move. Since most stars are so far away their movement is hard to detect. #3 the Planets, appear to be stars, because they are pin point spots of light. The planets move , notably Venus, which can be seen as the Morning Star, or at a different time of the year as the Evening Star. The word 'planet' comes from Classical Greece, and means 'Wandering Star'.

Why does it seem like stars move across the sky?

Stars appear to move across the sky due to the Earth's rotation on its axis. As the Earth spins, different stars come into view while others disappear below the horizon. This apparent motion is actually the result of the Earth's rotation, not the movement of the stars themselves.
