If the earth rotates from the west to the east why do the sun and stars move the east towards to west?

Its all relative to your point of reference... The earth rotates from west to east about its axis, or counter-clockwise looking down from a point in space above the north pole. You are standing on the earth, so you are also moving from west to east. You look up at the sun or stars, and they appear to move from east to west. Do this experiment... Stand still and look at some object in front of you. Pretend you are the earth and your head is the north pole. Turn slowly to your left (west to east) and you will notice that the object seems to move to your right (east to west).

What is the widest state east to west?

Several sources found on the internet, among them the Hawaii state tourist board, Yahoo, and the US States Almanac, all agree that Hawaii is the widest state on an east-west axis. However, as the global divisional point between east and west is 180° longitude. And that Alaska spans across the 180° longitude line; if you are to measure FROM the "eastern" most point of Alaska (at 180° longitude) TO the "western" most point of Alaska (also at 180° longitude) at approximate the 50th parallel; then you have a measurement of approximated 17,000 miles -- clearly making Alaska the widest state as measured FROM east TO west.
