Because the earth's spin causes us to be able to see different constellations at different times of year. In winter, we see other constellations because the earth tilts away from the sun, therefore causing us to see constellations over the top of the earth. I am 11 years old.

∙ 15y agowell remember we are in a galaxy that spins just like earth... so as the earth spins you see different stars and when the galaxy spins you have different stars... basically the sky moves over night...
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoIt's because the first night you may see the stars in one place but the next night the earth has moved on it's axis causing the stars to occur to you as to have moved when really it's Earth that has moved! :) Hope i helped xxx

The Earth isn't standing still; it is moving along in its orbit at about 67,000 miles per hour, along its elliptical orbit. It takes 365.24 days to complete one orbit; that works out to about one degree per day.
We measure the "day" as the time it takes for the Earth to spin one time, but that isn't QUITE correct. The Earth spins in 23 hours 56 minutes, and this is one "sidereal day", the time it takes so that the stars appear in the same place in the sky. During that time, the Earth had gone almost a full degree around in its orbit, which means that it takes an extra four minutes of the Earth spinning until the Sun appears to be back in the same place. This is called one "solar day".
So because of the Earth going around in its orbit, the stars seem to rise four minutes earlier each night, as we measure it by the Sun.

Since the position of your head keeps changing, you have to keep changing the direction
where you look to see any one thing.
Of course you don't feel as if you're turning, so it looks like the things you're looking at
are turning around you.

Wiki User
∙ 11y agoThey don't look different but probably the size do
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoBecause the earth rotates, the stars seem to shift positions in the sky. Just like the sun.
The Earth rotates on its axis and around the sun so technically were moving, not the stars

How did stars appear?
Stars in the sky appear at night time. If it is cloudy outside, stars will not be able to be seen by the naked eye. The moon also appears at night time.

What direction did Regulus move across the sky from?
Regulus stars appear to move across the sky from East to West (:
What causes the stars in the sky to appear to be moving?
The Earth's rotation. The relation between the Earth (or a person on the Earth) and the position of the stars makes it appear that the stars are in a different position as the night progresses.
Do stars in the night sky appear spiked?
No, that's an illusion. The stars themselves are invisibly small point sources; even the biggest stars are so far away that there is no way to actually see a disc image.
Why do stars and constellation appear to move in the night sky?
Stars and constellations appear to move in the night sky because the Earth is rotating, while the stars and constellations stay there.
Why do the brightest stars in your sky appear so bright compared to other stars in your sky?
because those stars have high luminosities.
What color do the hottest stars in the sky appear?
they appear blue due to the flame
Make a sentence with appear?
When the sun sets, you can watch the sky as the stars and moon appear.
Why do stars appear to move in the sky?
