Answer:- The stars appear to make these circles in the sky because the Earth is rotating counter-clockwise, as seen from above its North Pole, around its axis which is pointed at the North Celestial Pole. They move from east to west, just like the Sun and the Moon. This is due to Earth's rotation.

Direction of moving stars:
- When we view stars, they appear to move from east to west direction. This is because the earth revolves from west to east direction (opposite direction).
- The stars never move from the horizon, the motion of the earth makes stars appear to move.
- When we face the North direction and face Ursa Major (center of northern sky), it appears that all stars revolve from right to left direction.
- When we face same direction and face Polaris (present in southern sky), then all stars appears to move from left to right direction.
- There is change in the direction of the moving star because their position varies with the axis of rotating earth.
