Detailed explanation-1: -Because Earth rotates on its axis from west to east, the Moon and the Sun (and all other celestial objects) appear to move from east to west across the sky. Viewed from above, however, the Moon orbits Earth in the same direction as our planet rotates.
Detailed explanation-2: -This apparent motion across the sky is due to the rotation of Earth. As Earth turns eastward on its axis, we move along with it, creating the illusion that the Sun moves through the sky over a day.
Detailed explanation-3: -The sun appears to move from East to West around the earth, it means that the earth rotates in opposite direction, i.e. from West to East. Option (b) is the correct answer.
Detailed explanation-4: -As the Earth rotates, it also moves, or revolves, around the Sun. The Earth’s path around the Sun is called its orbit. It takes the Earth one year, or 365 1/4 days, to completely orbit the Sun. As the Earth orbits the Sun, the Moon orbits the Earth.
