Why do stars appear to move in the sky?

Stars appear to move in the sky due to the rotation of Earth on its axis. As Earth spins, it causes the stars to appear as if they are moving across the sky. This is known as the apparent motion of the stars.

What is known as periodic motion?

Periodic motion is any motion that repeats at regular intervals. Examples include the swinging of a pendulum, the vibrations of a guitar string, or the rotation of the Earth around the sun. Periodic motion can be described by parameters such as frequency, amplitude, and period.

It is anticlockwise when viewed from the north. This applies to both its daily rotation and its revolution around the Sun. The angular momentum vector in both cases points to the north.


What is earths motion in relation to a year?

The Earth's motion around the Sun is what determines a year. This motion is known as revolution, taking approximately 365.25 days to complete one orbit, which is why we have a leap year every 4 years to account for the extra quarter of a day.
