Answer:

While not without errors, Copernicus' model eventually convinced the world that Earth spun on its axis beneath the stars … and also moved in orbit around the sun. A time exposure of the northern sky, revealing the apparent motion of all the stars around Polaris. In fact, this apparent motion is due to Earth's spin.

All of science is rooted in the idea that natural phenomena can be explained naturally, and that if we want to know how anything in the Universe works, all we need to do is ask the Universe the right questions, and the answers will appear.

So what about the question of the night sky, and why it appears to rotate the way it does?

There are two straightforward explanations for this, and from observing the apparent motion of the night sky alone, they’re indistinguishable from one another.

1.The entire sky — and all the stars in it — spins around the Earth with a period of 24 hours, causing the stars to change position as we observe it from Earth.

2.The entire sky is — to the best of our observations — stationary, and appears to spin because the Earth is rotating beneath it.

These two scenarios, although they would both adequately explain this phenomenon, are vastly different from one another.
