Why does it look like the moon in moving when your in the car?

The apparent movement of the moon while you're in a car is due to your shifting perspective as you move. As you travel, the moon appears to shift relative to the landscape around you, giving the illusion of movement. This effect is similar to how objects closer to you seem to move faster than distant objects when you are in motion.
