The motion of the sun along the ecliptic is, of course
merely a reflection of the revolution of the earth . (1) __________
around the sun, but the ancients believed earth was
fixed and the sun had an independent motion of its (2) __________
own, eastward among the stars. The glare of sunlight
hide the stars in daytime, but the ancients were aware (3) __________
that the stars were up there even at night, and the slow
eastward motion of the sun around the sky, in the (4) __________
rate of about thirty degrees each month, cause different
stars to be visible at night at different times of the (5) __________
year. The moon, revolves around the earth each month,
also has an independent motion in the sky. (6) __________
The moon, however, changes its position relatively
rapid. Although it appears to rise and set each (7) __________
day, as is nearly everything else in the sky, we
can see the moon changing position during as short (8) ___________
an interval as a hour or so. The moon's path around
the earth lies nearly in the same plane as the earth's (9) ___________
path around the sun, so the moon is never seen very
far from the ecliptic in the sky. There are five other (10) __________
objects visible to the naked eye that also appear to
move in respect to the fixed background of stars (11) __________
on the celestial sphere. These are the planets Mercury,
Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and the Saturn. All of which (12) __________
revolve the sun in nearly the same plane as the
earth does, so they, like the moon, always appear (13)__________
near the ecliptic. Because we see the planets
from the moving earth, however, they behave in a (14)__________
complicated way, with their apparent motions on the
celestial sphere reflecting both their won dependent (15)__________
motions around the sun and our motion as well.
