Why do we see different constellations every season?
The stars and planets are observed from the earth, and because the earth is rotating and tilting on its axis, and is also orbiting the sun, the stars and planets appear to be moving in relation to the observers view.
Why do the planets appear to move through the constellations instead of with the constellations as Earth rotates?
The apparent movement of planets through the constellations is due to the combined effect of Earth's orbit around the Sun and the orbit of the planets themselves. As Earth moves in its orbit, the perspective from which we view the planets changes, creating the illusion of them moving relative to the background of fixed stars in the constellations.
How many planets does Earth have?
Earth has no planets of its own. It is one and has one moon.
How do planets effect if the sun sets in the east or west?
The rising and setting of the sun is called an "apparent" motion, not a proper or true motion of the sun. The sun isn't doing anything special as far as rising or setting from a planet's point of view. The apparent motion comes entirely from the rotation of the planets on their axes (poles). The earth rotates (spins) on its axis (the line through the earth containing the north and south poles-- they are really part of one single line. As the earth turns from west to east, the sun and stars appear to move across the sky. Because the earth is moving toward the east, when the sun does come into view (sunrise) it comes into view at the eastern horizon.
Which planets are the inner planets?
The four inner, rocky planets (also known as the terrestrial planets) are; Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars
How did Nicolaus Copernicus' view of the universe differ from the medieval view?
Nicolaus Copernicus proposed a heliocentric model of the universe where the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun, challenging the prevailing geocentric view of the medieval period that placed Earth at the center. This shift in perspective laid the foundation for modern astronomy and our understanding of the solar system.
Why do planets look like they are moving backwards as we view them from earth?
Their called epicycles

What is the medieval view of the universe and how differ from modern view?
The medieval concept of the universe came from early Christian and scientific points of view. They inherited the notions from the Greeks and Romans and adapted these to Christianity. In this sense, medieval scholars proposed that the earth, as created by God, was the center of the universe. This geocentric concept established that the earth was an unmoving object located in the center of the universe. The scientists and philosophers, Aristotle and Ptolemy helped to develop this geocentric concept of the universe. They concluded that there were lives below and over the moon. They theorized that in the space below earth, water, fire, and air were thought to be the components of earthly bodies. Above, the element of celestial bodies was ether since it was the purest element, closer to heaven, which kept celestial objects above the earth. They conceived that the moon, the sun, and the planets all moved in a perfectly symmetric and circular path around the earth. They also believe that beyond the seven planets, there was a sphere of fixed stars. And, beyond the sphere of fixed stars, there would be Heaven. This was the geocentric idea, as God deliberately placed earth in the center of the universe. These medieval views were proven to be incorrect. Modern scientific discoveries proved that the planets and starts revolve and gravitate around the Sun. It have been demonstrated that there is a gravitation force that keep the bodies stable on earth. Also, the thermodynamics of terrestrial objects have no correlation with the idea of heaven of hell. ma.reyesmariano 5-10-09

What was the reason for medieval astronomers believing the sun and planets revolve around the earth?
