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.

I am not finding the answer, please let me know the correct 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
ok you answer is some what ok sandhya. Let us any more answers from our friends

I think so. Someone may explain it more clear
your answer also correct sandhya. Some times for single question there will be number of answers. SO let learn all those answers.
A science student who is having a good knowledge in science can explain this clearly.
you can even search in google and know the reason and can answer it sasi
No I dont want to google it I want to learn from here only. I will wait until some one explained it clearly.
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.
Great answer devyani. yes, your answer is also correct. But I want exact scientific answer
Moon moves much faster than we. But the big size of the moon and very big distance give the scenario of moon moving with us.

Thank you gulshanji for your explanation and the link and let us see what answers the other members give.
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..
The right answer for this is that we are looking the moon from a small area.Hence the aperture is large which feel us that moon comes with us.
