Question

Why do stars appear higher in the sky

Answer 1

$\huge \mathfrak \red{answer}$

Stars appears higher in the sky due to atmospheric refraction. The refractive index of Earth's atmosphere in general increases from top to bottom. So light coming from a star near the Horizon has to travel from rarer to denser medium and it bends towards the normal. As a result, sky appears higher in the sky.

Answer 2

Explanation:

No, all the stars do not move in the sky. The Pole star is located above the axis of rotation of the Earth in the north direction. Thus, it appears stationary at a point in the sky, it does not move in the sky. All other stars in the sky appear to move from East to West in the sky.
