Why did the fact that stars not show any Parallax motion convince the Greeks that the Earth was not moving?

I am not sure whether the ancient Greeks were involved. In any case, any movement of the Earth should be reflected in the apparent motion of distant objects, such as stars.However, in practice, this apparent motion is very small for the stars - the yearly parallax for even the closest stars is less than one arc-second (1/3600 of a degree).

Which of these is the result of particles moving in a constant zigzag motion?
brownian motion
The movement of particles?
Brownian motion is the random moving and mixing of particles.
What is absolute rest and absolute motion?
motion : when a body is moving or changing its position with respect to its surroundings is called motion. rest: when a body is not moving or fixed at a place with respect to its surroundings is called rest.
When does one feel the effects of velocity in a moving vehicle when it is moving uniformly or when its motion changes?
One feels the changes in velocity, or acceleration, when the motion of the vehicle changes.
What do you understand by state of motion?
A description of the motion of the object. Stationary vs moving described by velocity.
Is motion parallax a monocular cue for depth perception?
Yes, motion parallax is a monocular cue for depth perception. It refers to the perception of depth created by objects appearing to move at different speeds and directions when an individual moves their head or eyes. This phenomenon helps the brain gauge the relative distances of objects in the environment.
When an object is seen moving against a stsionary background what is the stationary background called?
Parallax
When an object is seen moving against a stationary background what is the stationary background called?
Parallax
What does emotion and promotion have to do with motion?
I don't know what emotion has to do with motion, but promotion has to do with motion because you are moving (motion) forward (pro) in something if you get a promotion
What is the motion of moving ant?
transkatory motion
How does this motion relate to wave motion?
because motion is moving and wave motion has waves
What is the bromine motion?
is a moving motion in diffrent direction
Is the energy of motion anything that is moving or that can move has this type of energy?
Yes, technically. Anything that is in motion has the energy of motion. But remember, it has to be moving!
Physics what is the difference between moving and not moving?
Moving is when something is in motion and it remains in motion until an immovable force stops it. On the other hand when something is still then it is considered as not moving.
How would you define the term motion?
Motion is the act of moving.
How do you know that all objects in motion have a speed?
you now this because speed is how fast an object is ''moving'' and motion is when an object is ''moving''
A boy jumps out of a moving bus there is danger for him tofall towards the moving bus or away from bus or in the direction of motion or opposite to the direction of the motion?
