the moon apears to be moving because #1 the moon does revove around earth and #2 earth is rotating and revolving
it doesnt APPEAR to move it does move... infact it orbits around earth that's why during day time you sometimes cant see the sun because its rotating!
The Moon, and for that matter, all celestial objects, appear to move across the sky due to the earth's rotation. You can show this to your self fairly easily. Take a chair that swivels. Sit in it. Now focus on an object a few feet away, and then spin in the chair. The object 'appears' to move, but it's really YOU that moved.Answer:The moon exhibits two distinct motions.The first is the east to west motion as the night passes which is caused by the Earth's rotation.There is however a retrograde motion (west to east) which can be observed on subsequent nights. The moon rises about 20 minutes later each night. This motion is caused by the orbiting of the moon around the Earth.
From the point of view of someone standing on the surface of the Earth, the Moon rises in the east and sets in the west, just like the Sun. So it appears to be moving from east to west. In fact, however, the Earth is rotating from west to east "under" the Moon and Sun.
The Earth's rotation creates day and night as different parts of the planet are exposed to the sun's light at different times. This movement is what causes the sun to appear to rise in the east and set in the west each day.
During waxing of the moon, it is lite from the right side. The moon appears to get large from West to East After it passes the Full Moon and starts to wane, it is lite from the left side.
Venus has no moon and evidences retrograde rotation from east to west (orbits "upside down", rotating the opposite direction to its orbit) - such that a Venusian observer might see the Sun rise in the west, and set in the east.
Day - It's the time when the sun rises from the east after darkness. Night - The time when the sun sets on the west and when the moon appear.
Yes, stars appear to move from east to west in the night sky due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis. This causes the stars to appear to rise in the east and set in the west as the Earth rotates from west to east.
east to west
The sun, moon, and stars all appear to rise in the east and set in the west due to the Earth's rotation on its axis. This rotation causes all celestial bodies to appear to move across the sky from east to west. The moon's own orbit around the Earth affects its position, but it does not directly impact the sun and stars.
East of the sun and west of the moon is the distance between the moon and the sun at they journey through a day or through a night. In a sense it can mean our existence, our space or life's duration.
east 2 west
Yes, the moon appears to move across the sky from east to west, just like the sun and stars. This is due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis.
Just like the Sun and the Moon, stars appear to move towards the west. The reason is that Earth rotates in the opposite direction - towards the east.
They always rise in the east and set in the west, because the Earth's daily rotation goes west to east. That is, they appear to rotate anticlockwise around the Pole Star. Stars under the Pole Star move from left to right, west to east.
10:30pm**
The moon roates around the earth from east to west.
It appears to move from the east to west.
