Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: Exactly. As the Earth rotates on its axis it makes it look like the stars are moving through the night sky . Also, as the Earth orbits the Sun it changes the stars that we see at any given time of the night.
Detailed explanation-2: -The rotation of the earth does cause the stars to spin in the sky, but the spinning is much slower. Whereas it takes the stars one day to trace out a circular path in the sky, it takes tenths of a second for the glow stick to spin in a circle.
Detailed explanation-3: -As our planet rotates through the night, the stars around the pole appear to rotate around the sky. Over the hours, these stars each sweep out a circle around the celestial pole. The farther a star is from the pole, the larger the circle it travels around the sky.
