Question

when viewed from earth, stars seem to travel in curved paths, or trails, through the night sky. this movement can be captured in a star trail photograph, as shown below. what type of motion do star trails result from? choose 1 answer: a actual motion b apparent motion

Explanation:

Star trails are not due to the actual motion of stars across the sky in the way they appear (stars are relatively fixed in their positions in the universe on short timescales). The apparent motion of stars across the night sky is caused by the rotation of the Earth on its axis. So the star trails result from apparent motion.

Answer:

B. apparent motion
