Do stars move from east to west?
stars do not move at all. what you are seeing is the earths rotation. The stars seem to set with the sun and the moon because weare turning. (earth's axis)
If the earth rotates from the west to the east why do the sun and stars move from east towards the west?
They are not actually, moving, they just appear to be moving because we are. Consider that if you are on a train moving forward, objects that you pass by appear to move toward the read of the train.
Why do the Sun move east to west across the sky?
Because you're moving towards the east and the Sun is (effectively) standing still.
Why does Phobos rise in the West and set in the East?
If you observe our moon, over the course of a night it appears to rise in the east and set in the west. However if you observe it over the course of a month you will see that each night it will be further toward the east. You will see that the moon is actually traveling from west to east around the earth. It only appears to rise in the east and set in the west just as the sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west. The sun actually isn't moving and the moon as well isn't moving in the direction it appears to be. It takes a month though to go around the earth from west to east. It does it so slowly that each night it doesn't seem to move except in the direction opposite to the earths rotation. Phobos travels west to east also. However it orbits Mars in only 7 hours. So Phobos appears to move in the direction it actually is moving. Thus appears to be doing exactly what it is doing: rising in the west and setting in the east.
What is A quick moving ribbon of air that moves west to east high in the atmosphere?
That sounds like a description of the "jetstream"
Does it take less time to fly east to west than it does west to east?
Yes because the earth is moving East to West.
Is there a velocity to the eastern direction to an object which is having a acceleration to the west?
Yes, if it is already moving East but decelerating i.e. accelerating to the west. The other condition when there is velocity to the east while accelerating to the west is when it is moving at an angle to the East-West line.
Which side of a hurricane is the worse side east or west?
If a hurricane or other tropical cyclone is moving the winds on one side will be faster than on the opposite side in relation to the ocean or ground the storm is moving over. In the Northern Hemisphere the fastest winds will be on the right side, if you are looking in the direction of the storm's movement. That is, if the hurricane is moving toward the west, the strongest winds will be on the north side; if it's moving north, the strongest winds will be on the east side.
Which way you are moving is you are changing longitude?
East or west
How did the telegraph bring the east and west together?
Because people who were moving to the West no longer felt out of touch with those in the East. The telegraph had brought the East and the West together.
Which way is faster flying either west-to-east or east-to-west you a hot air balloon flying across the continental US?
As earth is moving east to west we should move west to east to faster to our destination.
Does the sun is moving toward west?
Is the sun does move east towards the moves does west.
What s relative motion?
You are sitting in a moving train. It appears to you as if the trees outside are moving in the opposite direction. This is what we call relative motion. Sun seems moving from east to west daily. But it is only relative to us as we on the earth are moving from west to east.
Is East Worthing station next to Lancing station?
East Worthing is the next station when travelling west from Lancing on the Brighton to Chichester line. The two stations are about 2.5 km apart.
Why does the sun set in the west and come up in the east?
Because the earth spins on its axis from west to east and the sun, hardly moving relative to the earth, appears to move from east to west.
Witch way does the earth spin?
Well, the Sun rises in the east and sets in the west. So, if the Sun is not actually moving, then the Earth must be rotating (spinning) on its axis from west to east (counterclockwise when viewed from the north pole).
What time zone is the space station on?
The space station travels from west to east across the Southwestern sky at considerable speed and therefore would not be "in" a time zone. However the ISS onboard time is synchronised to GMT (also known as UTC or "Zulu")
