Observers on Earth move eastward with respect to the background stars due to the revolution of Earth in its orbit around the Sun. This eastward motion is because Earth orbits the Sun in a counterclockwise direction when viewed from above the North Pole, causing the apparent motion of stars across the sky to be from east to west.
