The sun does not move at all. In fact, the Earth is moving around the sun. The Earth, and thus it appears that the sun, moves at a constant rate. The reason the sun appears to set faster is because the surface of the ocean is relatively flat and does not allow for the sun's rays to linger by reflection or illumination with topographical features.

∙ 13y agoIt is because the earth is moving. The earth goes around the sun one time which takes a year. It also rotates about its axis once per day. The earth goes from west to east. To the people on earth, the sun really does seem to be moving. The sun tricked you! The earth turns really slow. The sun just seems to come in view.

Why does the moon seem to move as you move?
Because the earth and moon moving around the Sun in their own orbits . When we move it looks the moon is moving. But moon is not moving but our motion looks like the Moon is moving.
Why does the sun and the moon seem to move westward in the sky?
The reason they seem to move at all is that we are standing on a rotating ball (the Earth) while we look at them. The direction of rotation of the Earth makes it look as though other objects - not just the Sun and Moon but the stars also - are moving westwards.
Is the sun moving closer to the earth?
no
The sun appears to move across the sky each day is it true or false?
If by "seem to move" you are referring to perspective then it is true, since the Earth rotates on an axis and revolves around the sun, if we do not know that it is the Earth that is moving, it would seem that stars move across the sky, except for the pole star Polaris, which is aligned with the north axis and remains "fixed" in its place.

Why do you see the sun in the east?
Because it's morning. The Sun doesn't move. (Well, it does, as the Sun follows its orbital path around the galactic core. But we never notice that.) So if the Sun isn't moving, why does it SEEM to be moving? Because the Earth is spinning like a carousel. Since we're on the Earth, we're riding the carousel. So it APPEARS as if the Sun is rising in the east, because the Earth is spinning that way.
Why does the Sun seem to move when it is the Earth that is turning?
The Sun appears to move relative to the background stars because it is the Earth that is actually moving in its orbit around the Sun.While it is true that the Sun is moving, making its own orbit around the center of the Milky Way galaxy, this motion is too small to be seen within any human lifetime. For our purposes, the Sun is essentially standing still, while the Earth is racing around the Sun at 67,000 miles per hour.
