Its moving. Quickly. It is in orbit around the earth, the same as any satellite.
Some stars ARE moving towards us. The Andromeda Galaxy will collide with us in millions of years. The universe is expanding because of the "Big Bang", so almost everything is moving away from us.
For the purpose of this question we can assume the Sun to be stationary (it actually isn't) but due to the Earth's rotation it appears in our sky that the sun is moving. It is one of those instances where it is easier to think of it that way.
actually to brake it to you scientist haven't discovered that out yet but scientist are pretty sure it has a long orbit :)
In the late 1920s, the astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered that most of the galaxies he observed were moving away from Earth.
It appears stationary because it is moving around the Earth at the same rate that the Earth is rotating about its axis.
Objects that are "stationary" on Earth's surface are moving faster nearer the equator. The eastward motion of the rotating Earth is greatest at the equator (about 1037 mph or 1670 kph).

The Earth's crust is not stationary; it is actually broken into several large pieces called tectonic plates that are constantly moving. These plates interact at their boundaries, leading to geological phenomena like earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain formation.
The stationary object is known as a frame of reference. The earth is a common frame of reference for humans.
The scientist who proposed the idea of moving plates is Alfred Wegener. He introduced the theory of continental drift in the early 20th century, suggesting that continents were once connected and have since moved to their current positions on Earth's surface.

An object that is stationary relative to Earth's surface is moving fastest relative to space at the Equator. This is because the Earth's rotation speed is greatest at the Equator, providing the highest linear velocity for an object on the Earth's surface.
The first thing on Earth with working ears. It doesn't take a scientist to hear sound.
they believe that the earth is moving
