1) the motion of Earth around the Sun2) the motion of the Moon around Earth3) the motion of Mars around the Sun4) the motion of the constellations around
Earth5) the spinning of Earth on its axis
Question 1What motion is responsible for the apparent motion of the constellations (east to west) across the sky?
Question 1
1) the motion of Earth around the Sun2) the motion of the Moon around Earth3) the motion of Mars around the Sun4) the motion of the constellations around
Earth5) the spinning of Earth on its axis
What motion is responsible for the apparent motion of the constellations (east to west) across the sky?
1) wobble of Earth’s rotation axis2) the Moon3) The Earth’s rotational axis is tilted with
respect to its orbital axis4) variations in distance of Earth from the
Sun5) global warming and cooling
What causes seasonal variations on Earth?

1) planets really move but stars don’t2) they all move (but stars are too far
away to show it in a lifetime)3) stars really move but planets don’t
Why do planets change their patterns in the sky, but the pattern of the constellations appears to never change?
