How fast does the moon and Cassiopeia's chair move across the sky?

The apparent motion of the Moon and stars (and therefore constellations, as well) across the sky is mainly due to Earth's rotation - so about one full round every 24 hours. The Moon takes a little longer (close to 25 hours) for one full cycle, due to its orbit around the Earth.

Which direction do the sun moon and stars appear to move in the sky?
The Moon, and for that matter, all celestial objects, appear to move across the sky due to the earth's rotation. You can show this to your self fairly easily. Take a chair that swivels. Sit in it. Now focus on an object a few feet away, and then spin in the chair. The object 'appears' to move, but it's really YOU that moved.Answer:The moon exhibits two distinct motions.The first is the east to west motion as the night passes which is caused by the Earth's rotation.There is however a retrograde motion (west to east) which can be observed on subsequent nights. The moon rises about 20 minutes later each night. This motion is caused by the orbiting of the moon around the Earth.
