Because Earth is always rotating so it seems like its the stars that are rotating but its really just our planet that moves.
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.
east to west
cos some are shooting stars and comets! and stars move around
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
Stars appear to move across the sky due to the rotation of the Earth, whereas the Moon moves across the sky due to its orbit around the Earth. The apparent motion of stars is much slower than that of the Moon, which moves visibly over the course of a night.
A pattern of stars which seems to move across the night sky together is called a constellation. Hope this helped :D
They appear to move across the sky because of the position of the viewer on a rotating planet with a moving field of view.
Ellen Kim was the first to explain why the sun and stars move across the sky in 1858
Because of the rotation of the planet and the view.
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'.
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.
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.
