To be technical about it, you'd probably have to say that the moon appears to move least,
although there isn't that much difference between the moon's motion compared to the motion
of everything else in the sky.

Everything we see appears to revolve around us every 24 hours, because the earth rotates US ...
and the direction our eyes point ... every 24 hours.

The moon revolves around the earth every 27.3 days, in the same direction that the earth rotates.
So every time we "pass" the moon and rotate again to where it was, it has moved on, and we have to
rotate for roughly another 50 minutes in order to catch up with it.

From our point of view on the earth: Everything else in the sky rotates around us in 24 hours,
but the moon takes 50 minutes longer to rotate around us. So the moon appears to be the
slowest moving object in the sky.

There is insufficient information in the question to properly answer it. You did not provide the list of "objects below". Please restate the question.

In general, however, a meteorite would move fastest through the sky - so fast that it burns from air friction as it enters the atmosphere.
