-Motion with respect to place: This is not much different from commonly
used definition of motion. It is nearly same with locomotion.
Celestial Motions
Celestial objects exhibit two different types of motion. The first motion is
such that the whole celestial sphere, and all of the celestial objects
attached to it, rotates uniformly from east to west once every 24 (sidereal)
hours, about a fixed axis passing through the earth's north and south
poles. This type of motion is called diurnal motion, and is a consequence
of the earth's daily rotation. Diurnal motion preserves the relative angular
positions of all celestial objects. However, certain celestial objects, such as
the sun, the moon, and the planets, possess a second motion,
superimposed on the first, which causes their angular positions to slowly
change relative to one another, and to the fixed stars. This intrinsic
motion of objects in the solar system is due to a combination of the earth's
orbital motion about the sun, and the orbital motions of the moon and the
planets about the earth and the sun, respectively.
