Why does the sun appear to be moving across the sky?
Its the earth that moves, not the Sun. This happens because the Earth rotates towards the east. Here's a way to see how this works. Sit in a chair that can spin, and turn on a lamp across from you. Give the chair a spin but sit still and don't move your head. You will see the lamp move across your field of view just like the Sun moves across Earth's field of view (the sky).
