NCERT Question 13 - Chapter 17 Class 8 - Stars and the Solar System

Last updated at April 16, 2024 by

Do all the stars in the sky move? Explain.

 

Answer

No, the stars in the sky do not move.

Since Earth Rotates from West to East direction, 

the stars (except North Pole) appear to move from East to West direction. 

 

(Just like when we sit in moving train,it appears that all the nearby trees and buildings are moving backwards, but they are actually not moving)
