How much do the stars appear to move over a three week period?

We had a project for science where we had to illustrate a constellation's apparent movement over a three week period. Could someone please give me the apparent movement of Aries from October 4-October 26? You can just give me how move it appears to move clockwise or counter-clockwise, horizontally, vertically, etc. Thanks a lot, and I really hope someone can help me with thisHow much do the stars appear to move over a three week period?When you talk about how much it moves, I assume that you also mean "if I view it at the same time of day". That's really a key to figuring out the answer.



Every night, the stars will rise four minutes earlier than they did the night before, so after 21 nights, they rise 84 minutes earlier. Another way of looking at it would be to say that if you saw one of the stars in Aries due south of you at a certain time on October 4, it would get to the same position 84 minutes earlier on October 26,



Stars appear to move from east to west over the course of the night, so if it appeared at the same place on October 26 84 minutes earlier, it will have slid further west if you view it at the same time on October 26 that you viewed it on October 4. Now, lets figure out how much.



There are 1440 minutes in a day. 84 minutes is about .0583 of a day. That's how much extra the sky appears to have rotated. Since there are 360 degrees in a circle, multiply 360 by .0583, and it works out to just about 21 degrees.How much do the stars appear to move over a three week period?Stars rise 4 minutes earlier every day.So for the same time,3weeks means21 degrees in the sky with respect to position, That is 21 degrees west of previous position..

This is due to earths movement along the path.360degrees in 365days.How much do the stars appear to move over a three week period?From East to West about 21 degrees. That's just based on the fact that there are 52 weeks in a year and 360 degrees of apparent stellar motion every year. 3/52 of 360 is about 20.77 degrees.
