Expert Answer
No. The stars appear to move in the sky from East to West direction. This apparent motion of the stars in the sky from East to West direction.When the Earth moves (or rotates) on its axis from West to East, then the stars in the sky appear to move in the opposite direction i.e., from East to West.
There is one star which does not appear to move in the sky. It is called Pole star. Thus, the star which appears stationary from the Earth is Pole star. The Pole star always remains in the same position in the sky. The Pole star appears to be stationary and does not change its position with time because it lies on the axis of rotation of Earth. Since the Pole star remains fixed (or stationary) in the sky, all other stars appear to revolve around the Pole star.
