You wouldn't see one even if you were on the Moon, which doesn't rotate with respect to the Earth. (In the spirit of your comment, you can satisfy yourself about this intuitively by reflecting that we always see the same face of the Moon, so somebody on that face wouldn't see the Earth changing position in the sky, either.)
