Why do stars appear to move in the sky?

Stars appear to move in the sky due to the rotation of Earth on its axis. As Earth spins, it causes the stars to appear as if they are moving across the sky. This is known as the apparent motion of the stars.


What is the period of a planets revolution can be used to calculate the planet?

The period of a planet's revolution is the time that it takes to complete one revolution around its axis of rotation relative to the background stars (also known as rotation period).


What is rotation in space?

The earths movement around the sun is called as revolution and the earth's motion within itself in its orbit is called as rotation. when the earth rotates its spinning in circles -around and around- and when it revolves its moving around the sun so rotation is when something spins in circles


Why do you see more stars in summer than winter?

There are two major motions affecting the Earth: its rotation around its axis, and its rotation around the Sun (which we call 'revolution'). While the rotation of the Earth on its axis causes the nightly movement of the stars across the sky, the revolution is responsible for the fact that we can see different parts of the sky at different parts of the year.

What appears to revolve around Polaris due to earth's rotation?

Due to the vast distance between the earth and polaris, the earths axis of rotation essentially lines up with polaris at all times, so when the stars are visible, and viewed from the north pole, the earths rotation causes the stars to appear to rotate around polaris.

What can be observed by earths rotation on its axis?

The passage of the sun across the sky during daylight, and the stars circling round the axis during darkness.

Does the earths turns make the stars appear in the night?

The earth's turns affect which stars we can see, not if they are visible at all. The stars are always there, But the light from our sun is brighter then the stars, and when the earth turns facing away from the sun, the stars are the brightest thing in the sky.
