Answer:

look below!

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the Earth speeds up and slows down as it orbits the Sun. Most of the Sun's apparent motion comes from the Earth's rotation. As our planet spins, the Sun, the Moon, and all the stars appear to move from east to west, just like if you spin around in an office chair and the walls all appear to move the other way.
