How do the stars move in the night sky?

Answer 1

Stars do not move. The Earth rotates on its axis, which gives the effect of the stars moving. In fact, the stars are moving, but are too far away for our eyes to realize.
The short answer is, they stay where they are and we sit on the Earth and go round. The effect is that the stars appear to rise in the eastern half of the sky and set in the western half, as the Earth rotates.

In the northern hemisphere the stars appear to move left to right, while in the Southern Hemisphere they move right to left. But they still rise in the east and set in the west.

Answer 2

The whole universe is a magnetic field with the perimeter of the universe itself being the EMF(electromagnetic field) of endless energy and matter. with that said energy is everywhere you look in so many forms. but on most occasions involving energy particles in close vicinity with the potential of a nucleus being made energy comes together and bonds itself as one whole. the larger amount of energy gathered for that creation of existence becomes the judge of character for the mass and as well as the radiation/level amounts of electromagnetic energy. this EMF is what causes objects of matter/energy to become naturally attracted to each other(gravity in some sense). but if you have large masses of matter and energy in the forms of planets, suns, galaxies, etc. on the large scale of course. but these large masses are all attracted to each other either if not slightly, a very large amount. which allows each and every thing to stay in place in this bottomless pit we call space. because everything is attracted in the form of gravitation pull caused from the EMF, which originates from the current energy level of the emitting power source. it causes the objects in range to receive force or pressure upon the particles/objects that absorb the radiation. which also explains kinetic energy when two objects collide energy is transferred from one object to another through a means of cturning that energy into work. but think about this... If you get a handfull of double sided magnets with both polarities on either side you'll have a huge mess if you leave them alone. but if you happen to hover an EMF over those magnets they change which can be explained through Maxwell's_equationsand the Lorentz_force_law. but look up in the sky one night. the stars will act exactly as your magnets did. look at all the conselations, the big dipper, all of those stars having planets surrounding them attracted to other stars with planets orbiting them, creating almost pictures in the sky although its completely random in which the order and shape they attract to .

Answer 3

This question is so broad that it is difficult to know what you are looking for in an answer, but I'll give you the basics: Stars appear in the night sky to be distinct points of bright light. If they "twinkle" a great deal it means the atmosphere is somewhat turbulent - on a perfectly clear, still night, they do not twinkle. Careful observation of them under very dark conditions shows that they seem to vary in color (which they indeed do), red stars being most obvious, and you will also discern yellow, white and bluish-white. Their color is a function of their temperature. Some are very bright, some are so dim as to be barely visible. This sometimes has to do with their size, but much more often has to do with their relative distance from us. And lastly, every single star you can see on a clear night is within our own Milky Way galaxy. Even the farthest away ones are still, celestially speaking, in our "neighborhood".

i think just randomly. i have this question a review and i'm totally lost on it. but i guess in no particular way. i wish the question was more specifif

Answer 5

There is ONE star in our Solar System; it is called the Sun, and it (basically) the center of the Solar System.
