Otherwise it won't remain pointed at the same spot in space any longer.
The Hubble Space Telescope has an orbital velocity of 7,500 m/s (meters a second) or nearly 17,000 mph.
A telescope rotates on its mount to track celestial objects as they move across the sky due to the Earth's rotation. This helps keep the object in view for extended observation.
The sun continues to move across the sky, during the daylight hours, as the earth turns, no matter if the sky is clear or cloudy.
Planets can be seen from Earth because they reflect sunlight, making them visible in the night sky. The planets in our solar system are relatively close to Earth, which allows them to be seen without a telescope or binoculars. Their brightness and position change as they move along their orbits around the Sun.
The sun does not move around the earth.

That is the exact questin i had!!
As of recently it is impossible to move the telescope.
The earth turns on its axis; it orbits around the earth-moon barycenter; it orbits around the sun.
"EQ" on a telescope lens typically refers to the type of mount the telescope sits on. EQ stands for equatorial mount, which is a type of mount that can be aligned with the Earth's axis to track celestial objects as they move across the sky.
because earth turns around and around that it takes 24 hours the Sun doesn't move
The interior of the earth is molten.
If you ask how, it spins in circles. It turns fully in about one month, I believe:)
whenever nasa or whoever ae able to send people to mars
You walk up to the telescope and click on it but you can't move it!
The equatorial mount allows one axis of the telescope to be parallel to the Earth's axis. This allows you to track an object by only changing one axis. This axis is Right Ascension. The other axis is Declination.
