Apparent velocity. Something the size of a comet moving this fast in the sky as viewed from Earth would be going *very* fast. Or be *very* close. Hence my question.

If that were a comet, it would probably be a few million miles away. The rocket might be a hundred. Huge difference in velocity to cover the same distance in the same amount of time.
