Explanation:

The Moon moves much faster than the Sun relative to the stars as seen from Earth. The Moon orbits Earth and can be seen to change its position relative to the stars over a short - period of time (about 27.3 days for a sidereal orbit). The Sun's apparent motion relative to the stars is due to Earth's orbit around the Sun and is much slower, taking about a year.

Answer:

FALSE
