Ohh, what a wonderful question! Stars have their own unique dance as they travel through the night sky. Some rotate, some just gracefully drift, but all of them have their own path to follow. It's like a symphony of twinkling lights painting a beautiful picture in the vast canvas of the universe.

In the Ptolemaic Greek model of the universe the stars are attached to the?

In the Ptolemaic Greek model of the universe, the stars are thought to be attached to the celestial sphere, a hypothetical invisible sphere surrounding the Earth to which the stars were fixed. This model placed Earth at the center of the universe with all celestial bodies orbiting around it.


Do stars spin?

Stars don't spin, but they do move. While the Earth is rotating and revolving at the same time, the stars appear to move clockwise (from the northern hemisphere's point of view) and appear to move diagonally. On top of this, the stars are pure energy, which makes them move back and forth across the night sky. This makes the stars very confusing when monitoring them. so, in short, the stars themselves do not spin, but they do move.Stars do rotate around their axis's, but much slower that planets. The sun for examplerotatesaround it's axis once every 26 days at it's equator. The sunactuallyrotates slower at is poles, taking 34 days to rotate once.


How does the big dipper rotate around the north star?

Not just the big dipper but all of the stars appear to rotate around the North Star because Earth is rotating. The North Star does not appear to move because it is in line with Earth's axis of rotation.


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 do planets appear to move through the background of 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.

Does a star move at a slow motion that we can't see?

Stars move just like the planets and everything else in the universe. Because they are so far away, it takes a long time to see even large distances. The Earth rotates, so that stars in the sky appear to rotate across the heavens each night. Because of its location relative to the North Pole axis of the Earth, the stars appear to rotate in the sky around Polaris or the North Star.


Does the sun move around the universe?

yes the sun moves around the universe but it takes a long time to rotate around it ronly once. the sun might not have made it around the universe once.


Why do stars appear to move through the night sky at?

well, it could be the Doppler Effect, Red or Blue shift. or it could also be the expanding universe, or because of the ripples


How do brittle sea stars move?

sea stars move through the water by emitting a fluid from the hole on their underside; it propels them through the water

How do the sun and the moon move in the universe?

the sun doesn't move. the planets rotate on the suns axis. the moon spins on the eath axis and takes 28 days to do so. this creates a month.


Stars spread in the new?

Stars spread out in the universe due to the expansion of space over time. As the universe expands, the distance between stars increases, leading to their distribution across vast distances. This expansion also causes galaxies to move away from each other.

Do neutron stars revolve?

Revolve means they have to have something to revolve around. Do you mean rotate? [See related question] All neutron stars rotate due to the conservation of momentum. At birth they move incredibly quickly - sometimes a thousand times a second but as they age, they will slowly slow down.
