Why is this を and not に to indicate moving in a direction?

```

    今日は天気がいいから家を出ます
    
```

Unless this example is wrong? But it is from JapanesePod101

question
grammar particle-に particle-を
家を出ます ? Why not に?
出る is not a normal motion verb.

> Xに出る

means to participate in X.

For example, カタン大会に出る would mean to participate in a Settlers of Catan
tournament.

> を出る

means to leave a place. see [Differences between 出るand 去る when expressing
someone
leaving](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/5645/differences-
between-%E5%87%BA%E3%82%8Band-%E5%8E%BB%E3%82%8B-when-expressing-someone-
leaving)

verb?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/21313/why-

Because it is not moving "in" a direction. It is moving "from" somewhere,
since I suppose someone is going out "from" the house.

In general 出る follows either を or から. There are cases in which you are
actually referring to "going out towards some place/situation" in a more
figurative way or with the meaning of "to participate" in which you can
actually use "に". For example:旅に出る, or 社会へ出る, and others.

By the way, your example feels a bit weird to me, as I would rather say:
今日は天気が良いから、家を出る。I feel there is a missing connection between 良い and the next
sentence 家を出る. Maybe even just changing to 良くて would be enough.

Anyway, you can find a detailed explanation on 出る
[here](http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/jn/152769/meaning/m0u/) and some
explanations and example on when to use を or から
[here](http://www.alc.co.jp/jpn/article/faq/03/221.html) (for example there is
a difference whether you are talking of a concrete movement or not and so on).
