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.
