A set of points in a plan that are equally distanced from a fixed point is called a circle. equation of a circle is: (x - h)2 + (y - k)2 = r2 Center = (h, k) Radius = r Since Radius (can vary for different circles on that plan) is at equal distance throughout the plan we can therefore say that a set of points in a plan that are equally distanced from a fixed point is called a circle.

Why do astronomers move their telescopes when observing the sky?

To compensate for the motion of the Earth in order to observe a fixed object, such as a distant star. Relative to the Earth, distant objects do not move, but the Earth rotates and orbits the sun, thus all objects appear to move relative to a fixed point on the Earth. Therefore telescopes (which are fixed points) must move to compensate for this motion.
