In the northern hemisphere they appear to move counter clockwise; In the Southern Hemisphere they appear to move clockwise.

Do stars appear to wander off their star paths?
stars dont move, but as we move they appear to.
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.
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.
Do planets always move east against the stars?
All the planets do orbit the sun in the same direction. However, as we orbit the sun quicker than the planets further out from us, and slower than the ones inside us they do at times appear to be moving the other direction.
Why do the stars appear to move slowly westward at night?
The earth is constantly moving eastward, so the stars appear to move westward. This is an optical illusion that is supported by Newton's 3rd Law (every action has an equal and opposite reaction).
Toward which direction do the stars appear to move throughout the night and what is the reason for motion?
Just like the Sun and the Moon, stars appear to move towards the west. The reason is that Earth rotates in the opposite direction - towards the east.
What makes the stars appear to move accros the night sky and in what direction do they move?
because the earth moves(:

What direction do stars move?
east to west

How do planets move in relation to stars?
They mostly appear to move from east to west but there are epicycles during wich they appear to move from west to east.
What is the pattern called by which planets appear to move backward in the sky relative to the stars is?
The pattern by which planets appear to move backward in the sky relative to the stars is called "retrograde motion." This phenomenon occurs when Earth, on its orbit, passes by another planet, causing the other planet to appear to reverse its usual direction of motion against the background stars. Retrograde motion is an optical illusion resulting from the relative positions and movements of the planets in their orbits.
When you view the stars and planets in the night sky they all appear to move on a great?
They appear to move on a great hollow sphere
Why do the stars appear to move slowly westward at night?
The earth is constantly moving eastward, so the stars appear to move westward. This is an optical illusion that is supported by Newton's 3rd Law (every action has an equal and opposite reaction).
Which star do not appear to move from east to west?
During roughly half of the time, 'circumpolar' stars don't appear to move from east to west. Which ones those are depends on your latitude. All other stars all the time, and circumpolar stars for the other half of the time, do appear to move from east to west.
