Its all relative to your point of reference... The earth rotates from west to east about its axis, or counter-clockwise looking down from a point in space above the north pole. You are standing on the earth, so you are also moving from west to east. You look up at the sun or stars, and they appear to move from east to west. Do this experiment... Stand still and look at some object in front of you. Pretend you are the earth and your head is the north pole. Turn slowly to your left (west to east) and you will notice that the object seems to move to your right (east to west).
The Earth rotates, not the stars, so unless the Earth starts spinning backwards, no.
The Earth rotates towards the east. As viewed from the North Star, Polaris, the Earth turns anti clockwise
Yes.The Sun apparently moves across the sky every day because of the Earth's rotation. It rises towards the East then later it sets towards the West.Earth's rotation is the rotation of the solid Earth around its own axis. The Earth rotates from the west towards the east. As viewed from the North Star or polestar Polaris, the Earth turns counter-clockwise.
Because the Earth rotates. Stars will "rise" in the east and "set" in the west, just like the sun.
The Earth rotates in an anticlockwise (counterclockwise) direction when viewed from above the north pole.The Earth rotates counterclockwise (anticlockwise) if looked 'down' from above, from over the north pole.Every point on Earth rotates from west to east (except the poles,since there's no east or west at them).
This is because Earth rotates towards the East. As a result, the Sun, the Moon, and the stars all seem to rise in the east, and go towards the west.
The Earth rotates towards the East, which is why the East is towards the rising Sun.
Earth rotates toward the east, so all stars appear to rise in the east.
Just like the Sun and the Moon, stars appear to move towards the west. The reason is that Earth rotates in the opposite direction - towards the east.
Stare at a picture on your wall. Turn your head to the left. Notice that the picture appears to move to the right? Its the same. The stars stay in the same place, you move relative to them.
Yes, the stars rise in the east and set in the west, which means that the Earth rotates from west to east.
It doesn't. It rises in the East and sets in the West, on the Earth. The Earth rotates towards the East. So, obviously, the Sun then appears to move across the sky towards the West.
No, the opposite. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west because the earth rotates towards the east.
The Earth rotates, not the stars, so unless the Earth starts spinning backwards, no.
That is because the Earth rotates from West to East.That is because the Earth rotates from West to East.That is because the Earth rotates from West to East.That is because the Earth rotates from West to East.
The Earth rotates towards the east. As viewed from the North Star, Polaris, the Earth turns anti clockwise
They are not actually, moving, they just appear to be moving because we are. Consider that if you are on a train moving forward, objects that you pass by appear to move toward the read of the train.
