Why do planets move across the night sky but stars don't?
The planets are closer. (They all move - and differently.)
What planets are death stars?
A planets and stars are different things, so a planet can never be a death star.
Why do planets appear in different locations in the night sky while stars in a constellation stay in the same place?
Because the stars are very far away and are suns like our Sun. The planets however are in orbit round our Sun and relatively close to us. We can therefore see the movement of their orbit against the background of the "fixed" stars.
Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?
Planets orbit stars.
What planet comes from the greekmeaning wandering stars?
The planet that comes from the Greek term meaning "wandering star" is "planetes," which translates to "wanderer." In ancient times, planets were seen as "wandering" stars because of their movement across the night sky in relation to the background of fixed stars.

What does cellestial motion mean?
movement of stars and planets
Why do planets appear to move through the background of stars?
Planets appear to move through the background of stars because they orbit the Sun at different speeds. As the Earth and other planets move in their orbits, their positions relative to the background stars change, causing them to appear to move across the sky. This is known as planetary motion.
Are stars planets from different galaxies?
Through intense research it has indicated that stars are not only luminous balls of plasma held by gravity, but are also planets from different galaxies. From a distance, they may seem like stars, but are in fact planets. So yes, you are correct, planets are stars from different galaxies.
The stars appear to move across the sky at night is this true?
YES!!! Because '- #1 the Earth is rotating so it appears that the stars move across the sky. #2 the Stars in their own right also move. Since most stars are so far away their movement is hard to detect. #3 the Planets, appear to be stars, because they are pin point spots of light. The planets move , notably Venus, which can be seen as the Morning Star, or at a different time of the year as the Evening Star. The word 'planet' comes from Classical Greece, and means 'Wandering Star'.
Are the stars in the sky different planets and moons we have not discovered yet?
No. We know what the stars are. They are not planets. They are distant suns, many of which do have undiscovered planets.
What planets are death stars?
A planets and stars are different things, so a planet can never be a death star.
The way planets and stars are different?
stars make their own light and planets get theirs from the sun!!!!!!!!!! hi!!!! :):>
How are planets an stars different?
Plants are normal and stars are like comets
Why do planets wander?
The ancient Greeks called planets 'wanderers' because they appear to move through ther skies in relation to the 'fixed' stars. The apparent movement is because the planets are much closer to the Earth than the stars, and all planets rotate around the Sun, thus all move in relation to each other.
What scientific advancement did the Chaldeans make?
Mathematics - including addition, subtraction equations, fractions. Astronomy - movement of stars, planets, moon. Medicine - diagnosis and remedies.
What stars have planets around them?
From perturbations in stellar movement, we assume that Alpha Centauri, the second closest star to Earth, probably has planets.
