Explanation:
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. So, the Moon actually moves from west to east through our sky, albeit so slowly that we almost never notice it.
During a total solar eclipse, however, we can see the Moon’s true motion as it crosses the Sun’s face from west to east. As this occurs, the Moon’s shadow follows it — moving in the same direction — and tracks a path across Earth’s surface.
Explanation:
Because of the Earth's rotation, everything in the sky seems to move together, turning once around us every 24 hours. Ancient astronomers explained this phenomenon by supposing that the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars were attached to a huge celestial sphere, centered on the Earth, which rotated on a fixed axis once per day. Of course, this sphere does not really exist; the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars all fall freely through space, and only appear to move together because of the Earth's rotation. Nonetheless, we still use the concept of the celestial sphere in talking about the positions of stars.
The celestial sphere appears to rotate around a fixed point, the North celestial pole, which is 21.3° above the horizon as seen from Oahu. The point on the horizon directly below the celestial pole is due North, while the opposite direction is South. If you face North, East is on your left and West is on your right. Finally, the Zenith is the point exactly overhead.
Since the apparent rotation of the celestial sphere is due to the actual rotation of the Earth, the North celestial pole is exactly overhead as seen from Earth's North Pole. Likewise, every point on the celestial equator is exactly overhead from some point on the Earth's equator.
