Why does the night sky appear to move in a circular pattern?

It is a combination of how the Earth is rotating and orbiting the Sun. If you stand in one spot and look up, and start turning, everything above you will appear to be going around in a circle. This is the same effect. As the Earth orbits the Sun, stars appear to be in slightly different positions at the same time from night. At the same night each year, the stars you see are the same. Stars that are lower in the sky disappear at certain times of the year. Ones that are high overhead can be seen all year, though they also appear to circle.


Is the earth's orbit around the sun a circle on an ellipse?

The Earth's orbit around the sun is an ellipse, not a perfect circle. This means the distance between the Earth and the sun varies slightly throughout the year, causing the change in seasons. The orbit is slightly elliptical due to gravitational interactions with other celestial bodies and not a perfect circle.


Why is the sun linght reaching the earth yellowish?

It's as a result of the light passing though our atmosphere - and the same reason that the sky is blue !


Which planets rotate?

The Planet Uranus has its axis at 97.9 degees to the plane of rotation around the sun and because it takes 84 of our years to go round once, it has 42 years of light and 42 years of darkness at its poles. Pluto is the other Planet which has a similar angle of 122 degrees though I think Pluto has recently been demoted to a dwarf planet or asteroid because of its small relative size compared to other planets. Even so it has a companion moon called Charon.


Is a tornado also known as a twister?

Do all chords of a circle pass through the center of a circle?

No, not all chords of a circle pass though the center of that circle. Any cord that does pass through the center of the circle is called diameter of that circle.

Yes. Make sure you mean circle and not ellipse or something though because then the answer would be no.
