When did man discover the sun moves along its celestial orbit?
The sun does not move along a celestial orbit. Planets move along a celestial orbit around the sun. The planet, the sun, the milkyway galaxy and the rest of the galaxies are circling the universe. Q: When did man discover this?
In the Ptolemaic Greek model of the universe the stars are attached to the?
The stars in the Ptolemaic model of the universe move on or are attached to a celestial sphere.
How do astronomers plot a star's exact position?
Astronomers know that there isn't really a "celestial sphere", a globe of crystal in which the stars are embedded. But it is often convenient to talk of a "sphere" around the Earth, in which all the stars and planets move. And sometimes it makes the math a whole lot easier. Navigators do all their calculations AS IF all the stars were stuck to a crystal sphere, and the Moon and planets wandered around inside it.
Stars near the north celestial pole appear to move?
counter-clockwise
How do objects in space move around other objects in space?
gravity
How do most celestial objects appear to move across the sky?
Celestial objects such as the sun appear to rise in the east and set to the west.
Why do celestial bodies appear to move in the sky?
We observe celestial objects from the Earth. Since Earth rotates around the sun we see the celestial objects moving too. So basically due to the rotation of the Earth, celestial objects always seems to move from East to West.Hope that helped Of-course that must have helped, -Hailey xD LOL
It is now known that the celestial objects which appear to move backwards among the stars are?
Planets
Does the celestial sphere exist physically?
No, the celestial sphere is a notional entity which is basically the "background" of stars against which the Sun, planets, etc., appear to move throughout the year. It is convenient for astronomical notation. The ancients used to believe there were some kind of spheres which stars and other celestial objects occupied and which was used to explain their movement.
What are the celestial objects the move that appear to move backwards?
One is mars. I don't know of any others. It appears to move backwards sometimes because the earth orbits closer to the sun than mars and we pass it up and then it catches back up to us
How does the gravitational force between two objects that are close together compared to the gravitational force between two objects as they move farther apart?
As the objects move farther apart, the gravitational force between them decreases. Every time the distance between them doubles, the force between them drops 75%.

What is the name for the study of why objects move?
The study of why objects move is dynamics, whereas the study of how objects move is kinematics.
Objects move when their what is changed?
Objects move when their balance is changed.
What body forms a tail as it approaches the sun?
Comets are celestial objects that have tails and move around the sun. When a comet is moving toward the sun, its tail points toward the sun.
