Question Why do the stars and the constellations in the sky appear to change positions throughout the night and throughout the year?(1 point) Responses The Earth’s tilt changes its position relative to the stars and constellations only because the Earth rotates around its axis. The Earth’s tilt changes its position relative to the stars and constellations only because the Earth rotates around its axis. The Earth’s tilt changes its position relative to the stars and constellations as the Earth rotates and orbits. The Earth’s tilt changes its position relative to the stars and constellations as the Earth rotates and orbits. The stars and constellation have tilted and are also moving in space. The stars and constellation have tilted and are also moving in space. The location angle of the Earth's tilt relative to the stars and constellations remains the same throughout the year.

Answer 1

The correct response is: The Earth’s tilt changes its position relative to the stars and constellations as the Earth rotates and orbits.

This explanation accounts for both the nightly movement of stars across the sky due to the Earth's rotation and the seasonal changes in star visibility due to the Earth's orbit around the Sun.
