First of all, the stars don't move. The Earth moves around the Sun. The moon moves around the Earth and the whole SOLAR SYSTEM is moving.

The sun and stars change positions because Earth moves


Do the stars appear to change positions in the sky throughout the year because the earth revolves around the sun?

Yes.


How do the stars locations change over time?

All the stars and the Sun are moving through space in different directions and at different speeds. Over long times (to a person) they change their positions in the sky and the constellations change.

What are groups of stars whose positions in the sky seem to change as Earth moves?

The groups of stars whose positions seem to change as Earth moves are called constellations. These groupings of stars are a result of patterns that early astronomers and cultures identified in the sky. The apparent movement of constellations is due to Earth's rotation on its axis and its orbit around the Sun.


Do constellations change shape?

No, constellations do not change shape. They are patterns of stars in the sky that have been identified and named by astronomers. However, the positions of the stars in the sky may change over time due to the Earth's rotation and orbit around the Sun, but the overall shape of the constellation remains the same.


Why does the sun change its altitude in the sky over a year but the stars do not?

Because we are revolving around the sun, but not other stars. Edit: and the stars (i guess you means constellations?) do change their positions, they're just so far away you can't notice it. What you can notice is that the constellations "move" with the seasons, because our planet's axel is tilted and when it revolves around our star our point of view is changed.


What is the Celestial globe?

Celestial globes show the apparent positions of the stars in the sky. They omit the Sun, the Moon and planets because the positions of these bodies vary relative to those of the stars, but the ecliptic, along which the Sun moves, is indicated.


Why the arrangement of the constellations doesn't change throughout the seasons?

The relative positions of the constellations do change throughout the year, but over a human lifetime, the changes are minimal. The constellations that are visible at night shift according to Earth's orbit around the Sun, creating the illusion of fixed positions.


What are the altitudes of stars when they are seen halfway in the sky?

The altitude of stars does not change, no matter where they are seen in the sky. The closest star is about 25 TRILLION miles away from Earth (not counting the sun)


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.
