It is the opposite principle as looking out a moving cars window, close objects move fast while far away objects move slow. It is a speed to distance ratio, a beam with a axis on one end moves faster at the free end and slower at the fixed end. When looking out a moving car window, you would be on the free end of the beam looking at the fixed end of the beam. (the far way object.) when on earth looking at the stars, you are on the fixed end looking at the free end.(the stars)
Planets appear to move through the background of stars because they orbit the Sun at different speeds. As the Earth and other planets move in their orbits, their positions relative to the background stars change, causing them to appear to move across the sky. This is known as planetary motion.
planets appear to move
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'.
They appear to move on a great hollow sphere
They mostly appear to move from east to west but there are epicycles during wich they appear to move from west to east.
Planets appear to move across the sky's star patterns due to the Earth's orbit around the Sun. As we observe other planets from Earth, we are also moving in our orbit, causing the apparent motion of planets against the backdrop of fixed stars. This is known as planetary motion or retrograde motion, depending on the relative positions of Earth and the other planet.
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
The movement of planets across the sky differs from that of stars primarily due to their relative positions and motions within our solar system. While stars appear to move in fixed constellations due to the Earth's rotation, planets exhibit retrograde and direct motion as they orbit the Sun at varying distances and speeds. This results in planets changing position against the backdrop of stars over days or weeks, while stars maintain their relative positions over much longer periods. Additionally, planets can sometimes appear to brighten and dim, a phenomenon not observed in stars.
The celestial objects that appear to move backwards among the stars are planets in our solar system. This phenomenon is called retrograde motion and is an apparent backward motion that occurs when Earth passes by these planets in their orbits.
Stars appear to move in the sky due to the rotation of Earth on its axis. As Earth spins, it causes the stars to appear as if they are moving across the sky. This is known as the apparent motion of the stars.
cos some are shooting stars and comets! and stars move around
the planets orbit the Sun at varying speeds, causing them to appear to move against the fixed backdrop of stars as seen from Earth. This apparent motion is due to the Earth's own movement around the Sun, which creates the illusion of planets traversing the sky over time.
