A swinging revolu rotati helioc are seasons and seasonal stars. If the Earth did not revolve we would Orion (a group of const Earth decre mas seasonal stars). Six months later, due to revolution, Orion is out during the day. This constellation is not visīble due to the bright sun. There are two models of motion for celestial experience only one season, since the direct rays would not move to other positions on the grav distr (sky) objects: the geocentric model, and the heliocentric model.
