In what direction do the stars and planets seem to move during the night?

Question

from the South to the North;
from the North to the South;
from the West to the East;
from the East to the West;

Answer 1

From East to West. This is because, though the do move, due to their distance and speed of movement, they appear to be motionless in the sky. The Earth, however, is rotating, meaning that we, on the Earth, seem to be stationary, whilst everything else is moving in the opposite direction to the way the Earth is spinning.

Answer 2

They rise in the East and set in the West, just like the Sun does. So from the East to the West is the correct answer.

Answer 3

It depends on what direction you're facing. In the northern hemisphere, they appear to circle the north celestial pole in a counter-clockwise direction. For the most part we think of them as rising in the east and setting in the west, but if you face north you'll see stars moving west-to-east.

Answer 4

in general, from east to west....but the stars also circle around the north star

Answer 5

One person asked about the moon, now the planets, next is what? Your brains maybe ??
