believe the number of people (non-astronomers!) that I've spoken to that, while understanding that the Sun rises in the east(ish) and sets in the west(ish), don't grasp that the Sun, Moon and planets move the *other way* across the sky
probably because of the altitude issue of the Sun here (and not anything lacking in my explanation
)
