Answer 1

When looking north, you see stars appear to move in circles.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The motion of stars in northern hemisphere shows the circular motion that follows the path around the Polaris.
• As it takes 24 hours to complete one full circle, so during a night less than 12 hour, we see only certain part of path i.e. stars moving in an arc.
• And if you're facing north, they are moving from west to east.
• So depending upon the time of observation the stars may take the path of an arc or the full circle.
