Friends at night time, when we go any where, most of us may noticed already that moon also comes with us. why this happens? Can anyone answer this?
Let us see how many of them come with their answer.
This is not a funny question.
Am expecting scientific supportable answer.

It is due to relative motion , we feel something moving.
Suppose, you are going in a travelling bus and another bus also travels side by side with you in the same speed, you feel that you are not moving.
Same is the case of a railway station, when our train is still, but when the train in the next line moves, we feel that our train has started. Isn't it?
If we are taking the distance between moon and us, it's really a great distance and the relative motion is very very small. We can't move that much fast with moon or earth. That's why, we feel moon is also running along with us

I will answer this question in simple and general form rather than in scientific way. The size of moon is big enough to be seen from the Earth. Moon is the nearest object to the earth in the solar system. Thus where ever you go, you can see the moon. You may feel as if it is following us.
Its just like illusion.. Its quite big and far away from us.. So its just make effects that it move with us ...
Let me give little example..... When you travelling on road, notice the trees around you.. You will found that tree near to you is not moving with you but the trees which are quite far away from you will create effect that they are moving slowly with us... But not for much time..
