This is a little complicated, but actually quite logical:
1. The Moon produces tides. Energy can be obtained from tides. The energy from tides can also be wasted, as friction. Ultimately, the energy for the tides comes from the Earth's rotation. Therefore, as a result of conservation of energy, the Earth will gradually rotate slower.
2. There is also a law of conservation of rotational momentum. If the Earth rotates slower, the Moon moves farther away - thus, rotational momentum is conserved.

A planet or moon bends toward the light due to the gravitational force of the sun or star, causing its orbit to curve. This bending of the path of the planet toward the light is what keeps it in orbit around the star.
Since Earth's surface is rotating toward the east, "fixed" celestial bodies appear to be moving toward the west.
The closest star to the moon is the Sun, of course. But if you mean looking up into the night sky, there would be different stars appearing next to the moon all the time, because the earth is moving and the moon is moving and the stars are unbelievably far away.
You mean "what is moving the stars?" Well, I answer you with this: nothing. The stars are not moving. No stars move. The closest you will ever get to see a star moving is when Justin Beiber moves from LA to Miami.
Our sun is actually a small star, tons of stars are way bigger than our sun. One. Each star is a sun.
Is the sun does move east towards the moves does west.
If sunspots are moving toward east, then sun rotates east
They are not actually, moving, they just appear to be moving because we are. Consider that if you are on a train moving forward, objects that you pass by appear to move toward the read of the train.

The convection zone of the sun contains hot gas moving up toward the surface and cooler gas moving down toward the center. This zone is located above the radiative zone and is responsible for transporting heat from the sun's core to its surface through the motion of plasma currents.
Comets are celestial objects that have tails and move around the sun. When a comet is moving toward the sun, its tail points toward the sun.
yes,it does
The sun is moving at an amazing speed. It is the biggest brightest star in the galaxy.
the sun is a star it is the only star in our solar system
Star of the Show
Yes. Every star has a "proper motion", which is their motion relative to the solar system. Some stars are moving toward us, while others are moving away. Nothing is standing still. Of course, the Earth is moving around the Sun, and the Sun is orbiting the center of the galaxy, and the Milky Way galaxy itself is moving - but we can't know where. Every other galaxy is moving too, and there isn't a way to identify where the Big Bang started.
because the sun's gravity pulls bodies of rock toward it
