Does the moon always appear over the eastern horizon at the same time each night?
nope. i go to ur school
Why does the moon rise at a different place on the horizon each night?
The Moon is orbiting Earth, so its position is changing all of the time. So it is in a new position when it rises from one night to another.
Why do stars appear to move across the Earth's sky each night?
because earth rotates on its axis
How often does shooting stars occur?
meteors may be seen every night, preferably just before dawn, when their apparent velocity will be greater because of the rotation of the Earth. Thousands each night.
Why do Constellations seem to move in the sky each night because?
Because the stars do not move, but on the other hand, the Earth does. Therefore, sometimes you will not see the same constellations in the same place every night.
Where the sun goes each night?
It doesn't go anywhere - it is there all the time. While it is below the horizon for you, people on the other side of planet Earth can see it overhead.
Do stars rise at different places on the horizon over the year?
Not if you stay at the same place to observe it. If you pick a star and observe it from the same place every night, you'll see it rise from the same exact spot on the horizon every night, but about 4 minutes earlier each night than on the previous night.
Why do the visible stars appear to seem set earlier each night?
Because of the earths continual journey around the sun - each night, about 1 degree of the sky comes into view in the east that wasn't visible the night before, and about 1 degree of the sky dips below the western horizon. After about two months (60 degrees) the overall picture of the sky has changed notably. After six months, it has changed completely. Note: All of this assumes the same viewing time every evening.
Many stars you see at night are actually two stars that revolve around each other these are called?
Binary stars.

What are the 3 kinds of constellation according to their location In the sky?
Those that are always above the horizon (circumpolar), those that are sometimes above and sometimes below the horizon, and those that are never above the horizon. How much of the sky is in each group will depend on your geographic latitude.
Why doesn't the sun go very far below the horizon at night in Scotland in June?
This phenomenon is due to Earth's axial tilt. In June, Scotland enjoys the benefit of the sun being on the part of the ecliptic where it is farthest north of the equator -- approximately 23.4° north. This means that, in June, the sun shines more directly onto Scotland and for longer each day, than at other times of the year. So, the sun is above the horizon for longer portions of each day, and below the horizon for shorter portions of each day. This effect is most apparent at the north pole, and least apparent at the equator, but is observable over the entire northern hemisphere.
Explain why stars appear to move across the sky each night why are some stars only visible doing certain seasons?
Stars appear to move across the sky each night because the earth is moving, but not the stars. Also some stars are only visible during certain seasons because as the earth rotates, they become visible.
Do stars move seasonly?
Stars are constantly moving, but their distance makes it unnoticeable for us. The reason we see different stars in different seasons is due to our position as we move around the sun each year. What that does mean is that at the same time each year, you will see the same stars in the same positions. During the night, as the Earth rotates, the stars seem to move across the sky. From night to night, because we orbit the sun, they appear to be in slightly different positions at the same time each night. Even then, you have to be looking carefully at the same time each night to notice. Because of that change, over the course of a few months they seem to have moved more considerably.
Why does the moon rise at a different place on the horizon each night?
The Moon is orbiting Earth, so its position is changing all of the time. So it is in a new position when it rises from one night to another.
How can you recognize a planet from the stars?
Planets are in a slightly different position each night with respect to the stars. The word planet is derived from a word meaning wanderer.
How many sunsets are there?
There is one sunset each day for a specific location on Earth as the sun appears to dip below the horizon.
