Why Some Stars Seem To Move Across The Night Sky?

Answer Question

2 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Any 'stars'  that seem to change position from night to night against the unchanging background stars basically aren't stars but planets.

    In fact the very word 'planet', comes from the ancient Greek for 'wanderer'.

      The Earth is rotating and therefore itmakes it look like the stars move.
