Why do the the patterns of the stars appear to shift westward slightly from night to night?
The apparent westward shift of star patterns from night to night is due to Earth's rotation on its axis. As Earth rotates, the position of an observer on the planet changes in relation to the stars, causing them to appear to move across the sky in an eastward direction. This movement creates the illusion of stars shifting westward in the night sky.
What travel slowly across the night sky?
Stars travel slowly across the night sky due to the Earth's rotation on its axis. As the Earth spins from west to east, celestial objects like stars appear to move from east to west. This apparent motion creates the illusion of stars slowly traversing the sky throughout the night. Additionally, the moon and planets also follow similar paths, influenced by their orbits around the Earth and the sun.
