Weather is a complex phenomena. in order to solve engineering problems such as the prediction of weather, we utilize degrees of freedom (DoF)... weather is one of the many elements that need millions of DoF and still cannot accurately predict it. mainly it's a vector analysis much akin to finite element analysis where each micro degree of freedom or say molecule of air is represented as one point interconnected in a web of points and each point's properties are altered relatively (similar principles how autonomous mini drones coordinate synchoronously) to each other.

many factors are considered: pressure, temperature and density of the air for sure. friction factors. drag factors. rotation of the earth. and that's the natural phenomena. include the heat given off the land, the radiation from the sun, airplanes, people, etc... its highly complicated. having done a weather station project, it's fair to say that there isn't a simple answer to your simple question. we measured wind direction, wind current, temp and humidity, visibility, pressure, etc... and we couls measure these things, but can't really say why say the wind went east or west... except tell you that its because of millions of degrees of freedom interacting with each other simultaneously and some things like weather are just like that.

Explain the main reason why the position of the moon in the sky changes over the course of a single night. In other words why is
Afina-wow [57]

Explanation:  The moon changes its visual position relative to the earth during one night because the earth revolves around its axis. As the earth revolves around its axis it means that within a few hours an observer at a certain point on earth will, due to the earth's rotation, change the angle at which he sees the moon.

The fact that the moon also moves, that is, rotates around the earth, and that it takes about a month for a full rotation around the earth, is why we will see the moon in a different position in the sky at the same time next night.
