Motion of the Sun • On any given day, the sun’s motion is essentially the same as that of a star (rises in the east, sets in the west). • The sun’s motion doesn’t quite keep up with the stars: It completes a 360º circle in 24 hours. • With respect to the stars, the sun appears to move once a year ...

History of astronomy
Astronomy is the oldest of the natural sciences, dating back to antiquity, with its origins in the religious, mythological, cosmological, calendrical, and astrological beliefs and practices of pre-history: vestiges of these are still found in astrology, a discipline long interwoven with public and governmental astronomy, and not completely disentangled from it until a few centuries ago in the Western World (see astrology and astronomy). In some cultures, astronomical data was used for astrological prognostication.Ancient astronomers were able to differentiate between stars and planets, as stars remain relatively fixed over the centuries while planets will move an appreciable amount during a comparatively short time.
