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.

∙ 14y agoStars appear to rise and set for the same reason the sun does: as the Earth rotates on its axis, the spin carries the visible portion of the sky past us, moving from east to west.
Depending on your latitude, some stars never appear to set; only to fade out as the rising sun turns the night sky into day. These stars are generally near the poles, and can be used to figure out your direction (and the time of the night) in the dark.

∙ 14y agobecause the Earth revolves (goes around something because of gravity) around the sun causing the sun to seem as if it rises in the morning and sets at night.

The apparent motion of stars is due to movement of?
The rotation of the Earth makes the stars appear to move in the sky.
In what direction does the sun moon and stars move across the sky?
It is actually the Earth that moves, not the stars, but from the surface of the earth it appears that the stars are moving. Stars rise in the east and set in the west, rotating around an apparent "pole" formed by the North Staplus.
What if the function of knowledge?
In an evolutionary sence knowledge and the thirst for knowledge is for the purpose of adaption. As we appear to be in a multiple reality (infinity on infinity) the rationalisation of knowledge would seem to be paramount.

What planets and celestial bodies seem to be radioactive?
Stars seem to be, but they don't have big and/or unstable atoms such as most radioactive elements have. They release sub atomic units when their atoms fuse, along with rays such as gamma rays, which is why they can seem to be similar to other radioactive things. Some planets with atmostpheres that are ionised by ionising rays can also be similar to radioactive things perhaps.
Why the stars appear to move during the night?
stars seem to move because we are moving right now as we speak i guess you just see them move more at night
What is a other word for appear?
Another word for appear is seem. They did not appear upset. They did not seem upset.
when do star constellations appear?
after sunset and before sunrise
Why do you think the stars appear in the way described in the poem?
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 other stars in the galaxy appear so small in the night sky?
Because they are so far away, they seem tiny, because of perspective.

How is a sunrise astronomy?
the sun is a star and stars are astronomy! its as simple as that
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.
Why do some stars appear smaller than others?
some stars seem smaller than the other because they are further away from earth. many stars are also located in different galaxies and are very bright therefore making it slightly visible.
Why does sun seem to appear two minutes before actual sunrise?
the sun is visible to us about 2 minutes before the sunrise & about 2 minutes after actual sunset because of atmospheric refraction.By actual sunrise, we mean the actual crossing of the horizon by the sun. The time difference between actual sunset & the apparent sunset is about 2 minutes. The apparent flattening of the sun"s disc at sunrise & sunset is also due to the same phenomenon .
Why do stars seem to rotate?
Stars actually do rotate.
Do stars appear to wander off their star paths?
stars dont move, but as we move they appear to.
