Because they did - and still do. The Sun is a celestial object and it provides light and warmth - without it, all life on Earth would perish. Without the moon, life on Earth would cease to exist, too. The stars make up patterns called constellations. These constellations were used as a tool for ancient people to survive. By using the constellations, the ancients knew when to harvest and when to plant, when the rains were coming and when it would be dry.
The ancient Greeks developed instruments such as the armillary sphere to track the movement of objects in the plane of the celestial equator against the annual motion of the Sun. This basic device consisted of a set of graduated rings that represented important circles on the celestial sphere, such as the horizon, the celestial equator, the ecliptic, and the meridian. These rings formed a skeletal celestial sphere. A movable sighting arrangement allowed early astronomers to observe a celestial object and then read off its position using the markings on the relevant circles.Ptolemy and other Greek astronomers used the quadrant, a graduated quarter of a circle constructed to allow an observer to measure the altitude of celestial objects above the horizon. An astronomer would sight a target celestial object along one arm of the quadrant and then read off its elevation from a scale (from 0 to 90 degrees) with the help of a plumb line suspended from the center of the quarter circle. With this arrangement a celestial object just on the horizon would have an elevation of 0 degrees, while an object at zenith would have an elevation of 90 degrees.(will add more if i find out more)
Friction does not speed up an object; it creates drag and slows it down.
No one knows for sure, but here are some theories. Some ancient cultures thought their god (s) lived in the moon, sun, stars, or planets so obviously they thought their gods had complete control over there lives. Another idea is that, because they were high above them they were a symbol of power. In Greek times, they thought the constellations were spirits of dead heroes sent to live forever in the stars, and that they were always watching if they behaved or not.
Animist believe that all people, plants and inanimate object have souls. its like what the blue people believed in the Avatar movie.
The federalist objected to the Bill of Rights because they believed it gave the government enough power, but not to much to prevent tyranny.
There is no celestial object at that distance.
No. A celestial object is an object in outer space, such as a planet, star, meteor or comet. Clouds are not in outer space, therefore they are not a celestial object.
Celestial body is only a general name for an object in the sky, particlarly applied to the night sky (but including the Sun). The moon, stars, planets, etc., are considered celestial bodies. Most of them were identified by the ancients; in modern times the more distant planets from Earth were discovered by use of more powerful telescopes.

From Earth, a celestial object is any object outside or above Earth's atmosphere.
The space rock is the celestial space object that a meteoroid comes from.
The declination of a celestial object is the exact equivalent of latitude.
