The sun rises because of the position of the earth in relation to the sun. One complete revolution of the earth happens every 24 hours. While the earth is turning it seems that the sun is in a different spot in the sky, but the sun is stable and the earth is spinning.

The stars appear as described in the poem due to the natural phenomenon of light pollution in urban areas. This causes a lack of visibility of stars, making them seem faint and distant, unlike the vibrant display in rural settings. Additionally, atmospheric conditions and the position of the observer can affect how stars are perceived.

Why do stars seem to make a circle in the sky?

The stars, as seen from the Northern Hemisphere, appear to circle around Polaris, the North star. They seem to circle around the north pole because the Earth rotates, while the stars are still. As we spin around, stars move out of our view and new ones enter. When looking up to the North pole, it is possible to see stars appear to be slowly spinning around the North star. In the Southern Hemisphere there is no conveniently located star but the stars still seem to spin around a point in the sky. The Sun seems to circle the Earth but again, the Earth is rotating and the sun is still. It's actually Earth that is spinning.

What planets have morning and evening stars?
