The celestial sphere appears to rotate about the celestial poles (completing
one cycle in one day).

• Celestial north pole stays still (North star aka Polaris)
• Stars appear to move in counterclockwise fashion.

Question: What causes the observed circular motions of the stars, Sun, Moon,
and planets about the celestial pole?
• Hypothesis 1: The Earth is stationary, and the stars, Sun, Moon, and planets revolve around it.
• Hypothesis 2: The stars, Sun, Moon, and planets are not revolving about the Earth; it is the Earth which is rotating about its polar axis, once per day.

The Sun moves west to east relative to the stars (completing one cycle in one
year).

Question: What causes this apparent motion of the Sun relative to the background stars?
• Hypothesis 1: The Earth is stationary, and the Sun revolves around it at a slightly slower rate than the celestial sphere does.
• Hypothesis 2: The Earth revolves around the Sun, once per year.

The Moon moves west to east relative to the stars (completing one cycle in one month).

Question: What causes this apparent motion of the Moon relative to the background stars?
• Hypothesis 1: The Earth is stationary at the center of the universe, and the Moon revolves around it a a slower rate than the celestial sphere does.
• Hypothesis 2: The Moon revolves around the rotating Earth, once per month.

The planets sometimes move west to east, sometimes east to west, relative to
the stars.
