Why do all stars other than the north star appear to move in circular acrs?

I know what you mean. This also use to baffel me. Lucky for you I am learning this in school. The northern star stays put while other stars move. Why? Because if you look torward the northern star it appears brighter. Why? Because it is closer to us. Thus its path or orbit is close to us. Earth travels at speeds of 100,000 kilometers per hour. The northern star also moves at this speed. Thus it appears not to move from the sky like other stars. Earth rotates around its axis while it orbits the sun. The earth is round moving in an “acr” style. Stars are going different speeds thus they move different ways than the northern star. They also have their own orbit different from the earths. To sum it up the northern star moves the same as the earth does than the other stars do. And did you know the consultantions you and I see are not the same in different hemispheres. For example, if you are in the northern hemisphere and see Orion and you cant see hurcules, I will see hurcules but not orion in the southern hemisphere. Chow.
