What else can I help you with?
What must be your location if the stars move across the sky in circles cetered directly overhead?
Your location must be located on the Earth's axis, specifically at the North or South Pole. At these locations, the stars appear to move in circles around the celestial pole that is directly overhead.
Do All stars pass through a zenith?
No, not all stars pass through the zenith. The zenith is the point directly overhead an observer, so stars that are close to the celestial pole (North or South) may not pass through the zenith at all from certain locations on Earth. Stars near the celestial equator are more likely to pass through the zenith as they appear to move across the sky.
Do stars appear to wander off their star paths?
stars dont move, but as we move they appear to.
How do celestial objects move compared to the horizons?
Celestial objects appear to rise in the east and set in the west due to Earth's rotation. Their path across the sky is from east to west, following the motion of the stars. Additionally, celestial objects move at different rates depending on their distance from Earth and their orbital speeds.
What are polar constellations?
They are the constellations at the celestial north & south poles - Ursa Minor (the little bear) is at the celestial North Pole and the Southern Cross is a constellation near the celestial South Pole.
How are planets distinguished from stars on the celestial?
planets appear to move
Do circumpolar stars move counterclockwise around the north celestial pole?
Yes, circumpolar stars appear to move counterclockwise around the north celestial pole due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis. This motion is known as diurnal motion and is responsible for the apparent daily movement of stars in the night sky.
What must be your location if the stars move across the sky in circles cetered directly overhead?
Your location must be located on the Earth's axis, specifically at the North or South Pole. At these locations, the stars appear to move in circles around the celestial pole that is directly overhead.
It is now known that the celestial objects which appear to move backwards among the stars are?
The celestial objects that appear to move backwards among the stars are planets in our solar system. This phenomenon is called retrograde motion and is an apparent backward motion that occurs when Earth passes by these planets in their orbits.
If observing the sky from the northern hemisphere which direction would the stars appear to move that are near the north celestial?
When in the northern hemisphere, looking north toward the celestial "axis" or North Star (aka Polaris), stars acan be oberserved to move all directions. To the south of Polaris (looking "above" it), the stars and other things move East to West across the sky. To the north of Polaris (looking "below" it), the stars and other things move West to East across the sky. Both are true for short distances, because in fact, the direction it moves is actually in a smaller and smaller circle the closer the star appears to be to Polaris. With a camera that can take long exposures (10-20 minutes or even hours) this circular motion can easily be seen.
In the horizon coordinate system altitude-azimuth how many degrees does a star at the celestial equator move in 1 hour and how many arcseconds does the star move in 1 second of time?
A star at the celestial equator will move 15 degrees in altitude per hour, and 15 arcseconds in 1 second of time. This is because the celestial equator intersects the celestial sphere at 90 degrees from the north and south celestial poles, so the stars appear to move in circles around the celestial poles.
Do All stars pass through a zenith?
No, not all stars pass through the zenith. The zenith is the point directly overhead an observer, so stars that are close to the celestial pole (North or South) may not pass through the zenith at all from certain locations on Earth. Stars near the celestial equator are more likely to pass through the zenith as they appear to move across the sky.

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
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.
When you face north the sun and the stars appear to move from to?
From your right (East) to your left (West) moving behind you.
