Stars appear to move across the sky each night because the earth is moving, but not the stars. Also some stars are only visible during certain seasons because as the earth rotates, they become visible.

What are the Britain stone rings?

Stone rings and rows of stones are a common feature across Britain and parts of France. We don't know for sure what all of them were used for, though some of them definitely have an astronomical purpose. Some are arranged so that a certain star is visible on a certain night of the year. They mark the beginning of the seasons, so they may have been used for predicting when to plant crops. Rows of stones in northern France may have been used as a primitive seismometer for recording earthquakes (that region of France is prone to earthquakes.) As far as their age, we don't even know that for certain, though they certainly are several thousand years old.


Why do constellations in the sky change throughout the night?

Constellations change position throughout the night due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis. As the Earth rotates from west to east, the stars appear to move across the sky, leading to a shift in the visible constellations. Additionally, the Earth's orbit around the Sun causes different constellations to be visible during different seasons. This dynamic movement creates the illusion of changing constellations over time.


Why did Greeks tell mythological stories?

The Greeks made mythological stores because they didn't have the science we have today. They did have science, yes, but they did not think of the Earth rotating, for example, they thought Apollo pulled a sun chariot across the sky. They used the stories to explain the mysteries of their lives. Hope this helps!
