That's a reflection of Earth's movement around the Sun.

What causes stars to move apparently in one night?

The rotation of the Earth will make stars appear to move in the perception of a viewer. The reality, of course, is they're much to far away to actually move visibly in a single night - their position can vary based on seasons, but relative to one another, there won't be a visible movement. The planets, of course, *do* move, and the observable motion is much greater than that of stars. The word itself comes from "wanderer", in Greek, due to the fact they did move so much in relation to the background, which seemed relatively fixed to observers of the era.


Do asteroids move slower than stars?

Most asteroids orbit around stars and move faster than them.


How do you move the stars?

You can't Stars are great big gasses of stars. Just like the sun


Why do stars move left to right in the northern sky?

That depends upon what direction you are facing. At the North pole itself, of course, any direction you face would be South, so the stars would wheel from left to right as the Earth spins eastward. Yes, left and right are not particularly helpful words in geography and astronomy. The stars appear to move East to West during the night, because the Earth spins towards the East. In the Northern Hemisphere you would see this movement best if you were facing South. Then, indeed the stars would seem to move from your left to right.


Do stars ever move?

No, the earth is moving. Stars just appear to make counterclockwise orbits when really stars - including our sun - stay still. So earth is just rotating and the stars appear to be moving to us.For a good animation to explain more see:http://media.photobucket.com/image/the%20earth%20and%20stars/mindexplosion/animatedearthwithstars.gifYes, specially when they break up with their couple, the have to MOVE on. :DNow, going back to serious, some of them move just as the earth moves around the sun and the moon comes along with the earth, so that means the moon does move as well, but there are other stars that move, that is why there appear once in a while some kind of falling stars....

What is the mean reason that the stars seem to move in the sky over the course of the year?

"main" reason. The stars appear to move throughout the year due to the Earth's orbit giving us a changing view out from the Solar System. We also are lucky in living relatively near the fringes of the galaxy, so giving us fairly clear views out into deep Space.

Toward which direction do the stars appear to move throughout the night and what is the reason for motion?

Just like the Sun and the Moon, stars appear to move towards the west. The reason is that Earth rotates in the opposite direction - towards the east.


Why do stars move at the night sky?

it's no the starts that move, it's the Earth that rotates on its axisAdding-Except shooting stars of course. ;)Hope that helped! ;)-Abbystars don't move its the earth that moves on its axis creating gravity :)


Do stars move as much as the moon?

Stars appear to move across the sky due to the rotation of the Earth, whereas the Moon moves across the sky due to its orbit around the Earth. The apparent motion of stars is much slower than that of the Moon, which moves visibly over the course of a night.


What was the main reason the Spaniards move to Mexico?

God, gold and glory.


Why do stars and constallations change location over the course of one night?

This is a simple one to answer. The Earth rotates and as it rotates, the stars seem to move across the sky.


Why the stars move?

the stars don't move the earth rotates and that's why we think we see the stars move
