Because the Earth is spinning, from west to east.

Since you're on the Earth, you spin too. If you point your eyes toward the west

in the morning and don't move them, the Earth turns you halfway around in

12 hours, and by evening, your eyes are pointing east.

If you pick something in the sky, like the sun, the moon, or a star, and keep looking at it,

the Earth keeps turning you to the east, so if you want to keep following the thing that

you picked, you have to keep turning your eyes more to the west.

The spinning is so smooth and continuous that you can't feel it. So your brain decides

that it must be the things in the sky that are moving, from east to west.
