The video tutorial discusses the patterns of celestial objects in the sky. Rita observes birds, airplanes, and clouds during her lunch, highlighting the unpredictability of these objects. The sun's predictable pattern is explained, noting its apparent movement from east to west due to Earth's rotation. The moon's movement is also covered, showing its rise in the east and set in the west, similar to the sun. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of Earth's rotation and orbit in these patterns.
