Answer 1:
Star trails do not affect the Earths rotation, but rather appear as a result of the earth's rotation.
Star trails are features in photographs that are created by taking a picture of the stars from a fixed point for a long time. As the earth rotates, the stars appear to rotate across the sky. By taking a photo with a long-time exposure, the camera tracks the movement of the stars in the sky and the effect is a star trail. Click Here to return to the search form.
