Which direction do the sun moon and stars appear to move in the sky?
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.
How does the moon travels in the sky eastward or westward Justify your answer?
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.

east to west
Do the sun moon and stars appear to rise in the east and set in the west because of the rotation of the moon?
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.
