How and why does the moon move across the sky at night?

Question

I know I sound very dumb asking this but I am still confused at how the moon moves across the sky at night. I just don’t understand how it works, is it perception? The way the sun reflects light off the moon? I know the moon orbits around the earth every 28 days but it makes no sense to me. Many thanks.

Answer 1

The moon is orbiting the earth and the earth is rotating itself so that is why the moon and sun move across the sky.
