Charon stays in the same place in Pluto's sky but the moon moves across earth's sky what causes the difference?

Well we move in a pro-grade rotation. This could be the difference because Pluto's moon Charon stays in the same place for Pluto.... but it moves for our planet because of our pro-grade rotation....

Why we always see the same side of the moon?
It is tidal locking that causes the synchronous rotation which causes the Moon to present "just one side" to the Earth all the time. The Moon rotates (spins) but very slowly, making one turn on its axis in the same time it takes to revolve (orbit) around the Earth. So it maintains a "constant face" in our direction. We actually see slightly more than half of its surface as it turns.It is believed that the Moon originally had a faster rotation (spin), but the effect of the Earth's gravity was to reduce the spin.(The dwarf planet Pluto and its moon Charon are believed to be "dually locked", so that each shows the "same side" to the other as Charon orbits.)
Why do the sun and moon rise?
The Earth's rotation causes the sun and moon to 'rise' and 'set. The rotation also causes the sun and moon to move across the sky from east to west, but really this is an illusion we see on out planet.
Why is it freezing in space and not on earth?
See the answer to the question "The sun shines in space as it does on Earth Yet it is freezing cold in space what causes the difference?"
What is the line that the sun traces across the celestial sphere?
The "ecliptic". In truth, the Sun doesn't move; the apparent motion of the Sun across the sky is caused by the Earth spinning, and the apparent motion of the Sun across the "celestial sphere" is caused by the Earth orbiting the Sun. But the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun is what causes the apparent motion of the Sun across the celestial sphere, so the "ecliptic" is actually the plane of the Earth's orbit.

What causes the difference between breccias and conglomerante?
The difference between breccias and conglomerate is that breccias are angular and conglomerates are smooth. What causes rocks to be smooth is transportation, such as when rocks are in a stream and are worn down. Therefore transportation is what causes the difference between breccias and conglomerates.
