But why male models?

Why are the stars in the same position if we're spinning, orbiting the sun from different locations, all while the universe is expanding?

I'm genuinely looking for answers. Astronomy was my least favorite class in university cause so much of it didn't make sense. Might just be my mild tardation tho

They are not in the same position, it all slowly changes - takes thousand of years for noticeable changes.

I’m more talking about the 1,000mph the earth is spinning (at the equator). How do stars stay static in the sky on a rapidly spinning ball?

Static? They 'move' and it's actually aroun 360 degrees in 24 hrs 🤶

check sun for example

Sorry static was a poor word choice. How about moving slowly?

‘Fixed’ is the word I was looking for.

If we are spinning hundreds of miles per hour how do they stay in a similar position?

Then they reappear in the same position the next night (with the exception of the planets- “wandering stars”)

Sorry, so where is the confusion? As you noticed, they slowly rotate (whole sky seems to do 360 in 24hrs, due to Earth's rotation - hundreds of miles per hous).
