Motion parallax is the pictorial cue that explains how objects that are closer appear to move faster than objects that are farther away as we move. In the case of the moon appearing to "follow" us when we take a stroll at night, it is because the moon is so far away that its distance does not change much as we move, and so it appears to be following us due to the effects of motion parallax.
