it moves around the sun because gravity pulls it tward the sun, and inertia moves in a straight line, working together, gravity make inertia orbit (move) around the galaxy!

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.


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.


How are planets distinguished from stars on the celestial?

The planets appear to move through the background of stars because?

the planets orbit the Sun at varying speeds, causing them to appear to move against the fixed backdrop of stars as seen from Earth. This apparent motion is due to the Earth's own movement around the Sun, which creates the illusion of planets traversing the sky over time.


Why do planets appear to move across the sky's star patterns?

Planets appear to move across the sky's star patterns due to the Earth's orbit around the Sun. As we observe other planets from Earth, we are also moving in our orbit, causing the apparent motion of planets against the backdrop of fixed stars. This is known as planetary motion or retrograde motion, depending on the relative positions of Earth and the other planet.


Why does the Sun appear to not move?

Because we are revolving around it, so imagine if you were driving in a circle around a street light it doesnt appear to move, rather you do.


Why do all the planets orbit?

Planets orbit around the Sun because of the Sun's gravitational force, it makes the planets move by its gravitational force.


How do planets move in relation to stars?

They mostly appear to move from east to west but there are epicycles during wich they appear to move from west to east.


When you view the stars and planets in the night sky they all appear to move on a great?

They appear to move on a great hollow sphere


How do the planets and moon move around the sun?

The moon orbits because of the gravitational pull from a plant. Planets move around the sun because. The lighter object orbits the heavier one, and the Sun is, by far, the heaviest object in the solar system.


Why does the Earth move in its orbit around the Sun, while the Sun itself does not appear to move in the same way?

The Earth moves in its orbit around the Sun due to the force of gravity, which keeps it in a stable path. The Sun, on the other hand, does not appear to move in the same way because it is much more massive than the Earth and is the center of our solar system, so it remains relatively stationary as the planets orbit around it.


Why do planets change their position with respect to stars?

Because the Earth and all the planets move in orbits round the Sun, while the stars appear to be fixed if we disregard the Earth's daily rotation.
