This phenomenon is due to the Earth's rotation. The Earth rotates on its axis from west to east, causing the Sun, stars, and other celestial objects to appear to rise in the east and set in the west.
Magnitude is a measure of the brightness of a celestial object. Lower magnitudes correspond to brighter objects, while higher magnitudes correspond to fainter objects. It's a logarithmic scale, so a difference of one magnitude is about 2.5 times in brightness.
