Answer:

The Sun isn't actually moving, it's the Earth! The Earth is rotating on its axis, making it hit the Sun during a certain period of time. That is why there is day and night. The Earth's motion makes it seem like the Sun is moving. However, in reality, the Earth is moving to balance the amount of sunlight it gets to regulate the temperature of the Earth so it isn't too hot with too much sunlight or too cold with too little sunlight.
