The best model of the appearance of the constellations in the night sky would be:
The small ball remains fixed while the large ball rotates.
In this model, the Earth (represented by the large ball) rotates on its axis, while the constellations (represented by the small ball) appear to be fixed in the night sky. This simulates the way we observe the stars and constellations moving across the sky due to Earth’s rotation.
