The moon is fixed in our sky. The earth rotates beneath it.
The moon is not fixed in the sky but orbits the earth about once a month. If it did not do that it would fall to earth (a critical fact noted by Newton when he worked out the theory of gravitation -- the sideways motion of the moon means that as it falls, it perpetually "misses" the earth). Just like the sideways motion of the earth in its orbit prevents it falling into the sun. The visible motion of the moon towards the west during the day is due to the earth's rotation beneath it (see first answer), but in successive nights it is further east.
What else can I help you with?
Does the moon move east across the sky?
the moon isnt in the sky its in space
Why does the moon move across the sky?
The moon moves across the sky because of the Earth's rotation on its axis. As the Earth rotates, the moon's position relative to an observer on Earth changes, causing it to appear to move across the sky.
Does the moon appear to move across the sky from west to east?
Yes, the moon appears to move across the sky from east to west, just like the sun and stars. This is due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis.
Why does the moon appear to move so slowly across the sky?
east to west
Why does the sun and moon move across the sky every day?
because the earth spins
What direction does the moon move across the sky at night?
it depends where on the earth you are standing
Do stars move as much as the moon?
Stars appear to move across the sky due to the rotation of the Earth, whereas the Moon moves across the sky due to its orbit around the Earth. The apparent motion of stars is much slower than that of the Moon, which moves visibly over the course of a night.
What direction does the moon appear to move across the sky each day?
east 2 west
Which way do the patterns of shadow and light move across the moon?
The Moon travels across the sky in the same direction as the Sun; Its' leading edge is the point at which phase changes start and move from right to left.
Why does the appear to move?
The sky does not move and you must be complete looney.
Why does the moon look like it moves across the sky?
The moon appears to move across the sky due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis. As the Earth spins, different parts of the surface face the moon, creating the illusion of the moon moving from east to west. Additionally, the moon orbits the Earth, which contributes to its changing position over days and nights. This combination of Earth’s rotation and the moon’s orbit gives us the perception of its movement across the sky.
Why does it look like the moon moves across the sky during the day?
The moon doesn't actually move across the sky during the day. It is the rotation of the Earth that makes it appear this way. The moon's orbital motion around the Earth causes it to be in different positions in the sky at different times of day.
