The sun appears to move across the sky each day is it true or false?

If by "seem to move" you are referring to perspective then it is true, since the Earth rotates on an axis and revolves around the sun, if we do not know that it is the Earth that is moving, it would seem that stars move across the sky, except for the pole star Polaris, which is aligned with the north axis and remains "fixed" in its place.

Why does it seem that the sun and the stars move across the sky?

The apparent movement of the sun and stars across the sky is due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis. As the Earth rotates, it gives the illusion that the sun and stars are moving across the sky from east to west. This movement is responsible for the cycle of day and night.


Does big dipper move through the night sky?

Yes because stars move so they would move through the night sky!!!! If you were to watch a constellation, it would appear to move through the sky but really the Earth's rotation and revolution about the Sun gives the appearance of the stars moving.


Why does the sun seem to move in the east and set in the west?

Because as you stand there, the earth turns your face from west to east. As time goes on through the day and night, you have to turn your face farther to the west, to see the same sky things that used to be right in front of you. Since you don't feel yourself turning, it looks to you as if the sky things are moving from east to west.

In this context, the sky doesn't move, but the earth rotates creating the illusion that the sky moves (unless you mean clouds which is a different issue altogether.). The sky appears to move from east to west.


Does the Sun move in the sky from north to south each day?

The Sun does move from North to South in the sky (or the other way) just a little bit each day. This is caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis combined with the Earth's orbital motion around the Sun each day. So, in the winter the Sun is lower in the sky than in the summer. In the Northern Hemisphere that means the Sun is further South in the sky.
