What are the bright lights in night sky that are NOT stars or planets?
The moving bright lights may be aircraft, satellites, or meteors. The bright points that are not stars or planets may also be galaxies, asteroids, comets, or the moons of planets.
Why do the planets change position at night?
Day and night, the planets constantly orbit the sun. This makes the planetary positions appear to change each night with respect to the background stars from the perspective of earth. So the positions do not change only at night, it is just at night we can see the positions have changed a little bit more.
Are stars colder than moons?
No stars are flaming balls of various gasses and moons are planetismals that come from nearby planets
