It is not really a case of the star moving in the stars, but us moving around the sun. As we do so, different stars appear to be behind it. If you take any object and stand a distance away from it and then walk around it while always looking towards it, what appears to be behind it changes as you go around it. If you face away from it and do the same thing, what you are looking at also changes. That is what happens as we orbit the sun. The sun appears to move in the stars and what we see when we face away from it at night also changes during the year it takes us to go around it. The sun and our solar system are also moving too, but we don't notice that as much.
What else can I help you with?
What direction does the sun rotate on the ecliptic?
The sun appears to move eastward along the ecliptic path, which is the apparent path that the sun follows in the sky as seen from Earth. This motion is due to Earth's orbit around the sun.
In which constellation will you find the bright star?
There are several bright stars. Planets move around the Ecliptic, covering 13 constellations or so. Note that planets look like stars, but are not currently considered stars. Also note that some of the planets look brighter (to us) than any real star. Other than planets, the brightest stars are the Sun (also changes through the constellations of the Ecliptic), Sirius (Canis Major), Canopus (Carina), and Toliman (Centaurus).
What planets are called the wandering stars?
All of them because they wander around in the sky and move between different constellatons, while the stars stay 'fixed'. They move in orbits round the Sun and all of them keep within a narrow belt of the sky near a line called the ecliptic that defines the plane of the Earth's orbit.
It is now known that the celestial objects which appear to move backwards among the stars are?
The celestial objects that appear to move backwards among the stars are planets in our solar system. This phenomenon is called retrograde motion and is an apparent backward motion that occurs when Earth passes by these planets in their orbits.
Why do stars move with the seasons?
Stars appear to move with the seasons due to the Earth's orbit around the sun. As the Earth revolves around the sun, the position of the stars we see at night changes throughout the year. This creates the illusion that stars are moving across the sky along with the changing seasons.
As seen from the Earth the Sun appears to move eastward along the ecliptic among the stars. What is the possible reason for this?
This is the result of Earth's orbital movement around the Sun.
Which is the wandering planet?
All the planets move continuously among the fixed stars, so they were called the wandering stars.The planets all move in or near a fixed plane. As they wander they all appear to stay close to the plane of the Earth's orbit, which is the ecliptic.
Do planets wander in and out of constellations?
yes, they do. The planets wander through the constellations of the zodiac, as do the moon and sun. They all travel on a very narrow path of sky called the Ecliptic - and the constellations along the ecliptic are the constellations of the zodiac. Zodiac is a Greek word that means "ring of animals".
What direction does the sun rotate on the ecliptic?
The sun appears to move eastward along the ecliptic path, which is the apparent path that the sun follows in the sky as seen from Earth. This motion is due to Earth's orbit around the sun.
What is the belt off constellations through which all the planets move is called?
The belt of constellations through which all the planets move is called the zodiac. It is a band of sky along the ecliptic, divided into 12 astrological signs representing different periods of the year. Each planet moves through these signs as it orbits the Sun.
What appears to move backwards among the stars?
Planets do that, during part of their orbit.
In which constellation will you find the bright star?
There are several bright stars. Planets move around the Ecliptic, covering 13 constellations or so. Note that planets look like stars, but are not currently considered stars. Also note that some of the planets look brighter (to us) than any real star.

What are carnivorous echinoderms that move by creeping slowly along the ocean floor?
sea stars
What the objects that move among the stars were called during ancient times?
planets, meaning the wanderers.
The strip of the sky through which the sun the moon and the brightest planets appear to move in the course of a year is called what?
The strip of the sky through which the sun, moon, and brightest planets appear to move in the course of a year is known as the ecliptic.
It is now known that the celestial objects which appear to move backwards among the stars are?
The celestial objects that appear to move backwards among the stars are planets in our solar system. This phenomenon is called retrograde motion and is an apparent backward motion that occurs when Earth passes by these planets in their orbits.
