No, the sun does not move westward towards the Earth. Instead, the apparent westward movement of the sun across the sky is due to the Earth's rotation on its axis from west to east. As the Earth rotates, different parts of its surface experience sunlight, creating the illusion of the sun moving across the sky. In reality, the sun is at the center of our solar system, and the planets, including Earth, orbit around it.

Thoes the sun move westwards around the earth?

No, the sun does not move westwards around the Earth. From our perspective on Earth, it appears as though the sun moves across the sky from east to west due to the Earth's rotation on its axis. In reality, the sun appears to move because of our planet's rotation, not because it is moving around the Earth.


What force causes the water on earth to move towards the sun?

Gravity does.


When the earth is towards the sun?

Half of the Earth is always towards the Sun.


Which direction does the earth move eastwards or westwards?

The earth moves from west to east; it moves eastward. This is why we observe the sun rising in the east. We are moving toward it. From the north, we would see this as a counter-clockwise rotation of the earth on its axis.


In what direction is the apparent daily motion of the sun?

The apparent daily motion of the sun is from east to west due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis.


Why does Earth orbit the sun?

Earth orbits the sun due to the force of gravity. Gravity is the attraction between two objects with mass, and the sun's gravity pulls Earth towards it, causing Earth to move in a circular path around the sun.


Why does the sun set in the east and set in the west?

It doesn't. It rises in the East and sets in the West, on the Earth. The Earth rotates towards the East. So, obviously, the Sun then appears to move across the sky towards the West.


How does the earth and it's moon move?

if the earth did not orbit the sun, and was stationary in space, it would simply be pulled towards the biggest force of gravity available (the sun). it is only the centrifugal force of the earth rotating around the sun that stops the earth from falling into the sun


How does the sun move round the earth?

The sun does not move around the earth.


What causes the earth to move around the sun?

The Earth moves around the Sun due to gravitational attraction between the two. The Sun's gravity pulls the Earth towards it, causing the Earth to orbit around the Sun. This gravitational force keeps the Earth in its elliptical path around the Sun.


Why does the sun and the moon seem to move westward in the sky?

The reason they seem to move at all is that we are standing on a rotating ball (the Earth) while we look at them. The direction of rotation of the Earth makes it look as though other objects - not just the Sun and Moon but the stars also - are moving westwards.


If gravity is working in both directions why does the Earth move but the Sun does not?

That isn't exactly how it works.* Gravity works in both directions. * The Earth is pulled towards the Sun, and the Sun is pulled towards Earth. * Since the Sun has about 333,000 times the mass of Earth, the effect on the Sun (acceleration) is 1/333,000 times as much as the effect on Earth.
