Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sun and moon appear to move forward in the same direction you are traveling due to the phenomenon known as motion parallax. This occurs because, despite their great distances, as you move, your perspective changes, making these celestial bodies appear to move in the same direction you are, although they are actually stationary relative to your movement.
