Question
Since the Earth is rotating, shouldn’t the stars also appears to move in the sky like the Sun? (Page 1 74)
Answer

Yes, since the Earth rotates from west to east, the stars appear to move across the sky from east to west, just like the Sun. This movement is only apparent it happens because the Earth is spinning on its axis.
