Stars are not always in the same place. Stars were drawn in a cave in France 35,000 years ago. One has moved away from where it was at that time. When the pyramids were built, The world had a different north star. The stars are moving. We simply do not live long enough to see them change position. Our lives are short compared to the few thousand years it would take to notice the difference in the position of stars.
What else can I help you with?
Do stars move seasonly?
Stars are constantly moving, but their distance makes it unnoticeable for us. The reason we see different stars in different seasons is due to our position as we move around the sun each year. What that does mean is that at the same time each year, you will see the same stars in the same positions. During the night, as the Earth rotates, the stars seem to move across the sky. From night to night, because we orbit the sun, they appear to be in slightly different positions at the same time each night. Even then, you have to be looking carefully at the same time each night to notice. Because of that change, over the course of a few months they seem to have moved more considerably.
Why does the constellation seem to move as the seasons on earth change?
The Earth rotates once in 23 hours 56 minutes relative to the stars, but it takes an extra 4 minutes for the Sun to return to the same place. Thus the stars gain on the Sun by 4 minutes every day, and in a year that difference adds up to one extra rotation so the stars appear to go round 366 times instead of 365.
What motion of earth makes it seem as if the stars and constellation are in different positions at different times of the year?
Earth orbiting the sun
What motion of earth makes it seem as if the stars and constellations are in different positions at different times of the year?
Earth orbiting the sun
Do stars and constellations appear in the same place every night?
No. Since the earth is constantly spinning, while at the same time, constantly orbiting the Sun, the side of the Earth facing away from the Sun, i.e. the night side, is constantly changing. As a result, stars and constellation do not appear in the same place every night.
Why do stars take so long to change?
The stars are light years away which is the distance light travels in a year. A light year is about 3x108km. The farther something is from you the slower they seem to travel so the stars don't look like the are moving. In reality, they are moving very fast.
Do people see the same stars all year?
No, because the sun changes
Are constellations always in the same part of the sky?
No - as Earth rotates the stars and constellations seem to move. Also, as Earth orbits the sun over the course of a year, the stars we see at night in the winter are different than the stars we see at night in the summer. Same with Spring and Fall.
What is the main reason that the stars seem to move in the sky over the course of th year?
That's a reflection of Earth's movement around the Sun.
What year did the book Number the Stars take place in?
it took place in the 1940s.that is when the holocaust took place. this book is all about the holocaust.
Why do Constellations seem to move in the sky each night because?
Constellations appear to move in the sky due to the Earth's rotation on its axis. As the Earth rotates, different constellations become visible at different times of the night. This motion is also why constellations appear to shift positions throughout the year.
Does Polaris seem to change positions throughout the year?
No, Polaris is always in the same spot in the sky.
