If I am facing north, in which way are the stars moving? If I am facing south, in which way are they moving?

Answer 1

If you are facing north, the stars rise on the right, and set on the left. Same as the sun, which is a star.

If you are facing south, they rise on your left and set on your right.

No matter what, planetary objects tend to rise in the east and set in the west, because they don't move much, but the Earth is rapidly spinning.

Answer 2

1. If you are in northern temperate latitudes (around 40 to 60 N):
Stars near the horizon are going from left to right. When a star (or any celestial body) passes the meridian between the pole and the horizon (to the "north" of the north pole), we call this "lower transit". It is the lowest point in the star's apparent daily path.
After passing due North, the star begins to rise (and continues to move East as it does so).

Stars above the pole (but still north of you) are going from East to West and things normally do in the sky (therefore, from right to left when you face north)

In general, stars are turning (once per day) around the pole in a counterclockwise direction.

2. If you are at the equator: the celestial pole is on the horizon. No stars can be seen below it. You only see stars moving counterclockwise above the pole and, as you look further up, you see stars transiting from East to West.

3. If you are in southern latitude (e.g., around 30 S), the north celestial pole is below the horizon. You never see the stars around it (e.g., you never see the Little Dipper nor Polaris). The stars you see towards your north are rising in the East, transiting from right to left, and setting in the west.

In the day, if you see the sun, it rises in the East, passes to the north, and sets in the west (going towards your left -- opposite to what we see in northern latitudes when we face south to see the Sun).

Answer 3

All stars (plus the sun, moon, and planets) rise in the east and set in the west.
So if you are facing north, the stars rise on your right and set on your left.
The opposite of course if you're facing south (one reason we use ordinal directions instead of subjective ones).

Answer 4

When you are facing north the stars are moving from left to right, or clockwise. And vise versa when you are facing south.

Answer 5

the entire universe is expanding away from every thing else, like if were all on the surface of a ballon there is no north or south
