Type your answer here... Because the Earth is rotating on its axis. As the world turns throughout the day, the Sun "appears" to change position from East to West. But actually, it is Earth that is rotating. It it is like driving in a car. When you see a sign coming up, it looks like it is getting closer and then it goes by you. The sign was not moving. You were in a car that was moving.
