Patterns of the sun, moon, and stars

The sun, moon, and stars move across the sky in patterns we can observe and predict, like the sun rising and setting each day, and the amount of daylight also changes in a pattern through the year, with more daylight in summer than in winter. Shadows change in a pattern too: they're long in the early morning and late afternoon, short around midday, and always point away from the sun. Some stars can only be seen during certain seasons, since Earth's changing position as it orbits the sun points the night sky in a different direction throughout the year.
