   Why do stars move across the sky?

   • Stars move across the sky. Because the earth is rotating the sky appears to rotate. Viewed from above the north pole, the earth is rotating counter-clockwise. For an observer on the earth, objects move from east to west (this is true for both northern and southern hemispheres).

   Do stars rise in the east and set in the west?

   • And if you watch the sky over a few hours in most locations on Earth, you can see the same thing happening: stars rising in the east, and setting in the west. There are some exceptions to this rule, however: Stars that are close to the Earth’s axis of rotation — what we call the north and the south pole — rotate around the poles.

   How do objects move in the sky?

   • For an observer on the earth, objects move from east to west (this is true for both northern and southern hemispheres). More accurately put, when looking north, objects in the sky move counter-clockwise. Though all objects rotate in the sky, the observed path stars make in the sky depend on the observer's latitude.

   How do stars move if we face south?

   • In the same way, if you were to face due South, the stars would naturally appear to rotate from left to right in a clockwise direction. In other words, while the Sun, Moon and stars travel from East to West the direction we see them moving depends entirely on which direction we are facing at the time:

   Do stars move back and forth?
