the background of the stars moves from west to east

Detailed explanation-1: -The stars appear to move from east to west because of the rotation of the earth. The earth rotates from west to east, around its axis. Hence, stars appear to move from east to west.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Earth rotates on its own axis from West to East. Stars, thus appear to move from East to West, due to the relative motion of them with respect to the Earth.
Detailed explanation-3: -Earth rotates on its axis from west to east, and the Moon and the Sun (and all other celestial objects) appear to move from east to west across the sky. The Sun, the Moon, the planets, and the stars all rise in the east and set in the west. And that’s because Earth spins toward the east.
Detailed explanation-4: -Do the Stars Seem to Move in the Night Sky Because of the Earth’s Rotation? Answer: Exactly. As the Earth rotates on its axis it makes it look like the stars are moving through the night sky. Also, as the Earth orbits the Sun it changes the stars that we see at any given time of the night.
Detailed explanation-5: -(b) This is due to the rotation of earth from west to east direction on its axis. Q.
