1. At the location of any star, west is defined as the direction of the apparent motion, and east is the opposite direction. Is west toward the left or toward the right? What about east?

2. Do stars appear to move in the same direction at the North and South poles? Explain why or why not.

    Answer and Explanation:

    1. In order to determine the direction whether west is toward left or right, let us suppose that we are facing towards the south direction.

    Thus the apparent motion's direction at east is leftwards and hence west is rightwards.

    2. The vast majority of the stars seem to move in a similar way at both the north and south poles but not all the stars.

    Since stars in northern half of the globe seem to turn clockwise however some are not seen because of going under the skyline and which is valid for southern side of the equator too.
