   We can even see the effect of Earth's rotation within one evening. Head out and find a bright star in the night sky, and remember its position relative to a terrestrial object like a lamp post or a distant tower. Head outside again two hours later, stand in the same spot in your garden and you'll see that the star has appeared to move in the sky.

   Jan 7, 2019 · Newton’s first law of motion is: An object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. An object at rest stays at rest. Remember that everything in the sky is constantly moving. You can easily observe the Sun, Moon, and stars (planets included) all rise in the east and set in the west due to Earth’s rotation.

   Why do stars move?

   • Maybe the stars are embedded in a galaxy that is itself rotating. Maybe the star is moving due to the expansion of the Universe, which gradually stretches distances between objects. But stars also have their own motion in space — called proper motion — that is independent of these phenomena. Why is the star moving?

   How do stars appear in the night sky?

   • Under ideal night sky conditions, stars appear as point sources in an exact location – pinpricks of neatly identifiable light. However, with Earth’s inherently unsteady atmosphere and the consequent swelling and instability of stellar images, exact addresses can be difficult to ascertain.

   How fast does a star move?

   • When a star is moving sideways across the sky, astronomers call this “proper motion”. The speed a star moves is typically about 0.1 arc second per year. This is almost imperceptible, but over the course of 2000 years, for example, a typical star would have moved across the sky by about half a degree, or the width of the Moon in the sky.
