Question

He moon rises in the east and sets in the west becasue?

Answer 1

The Sun, the Moon, the planets, and the stars all rise in the east and set in the west. And that's because Earth spins -- toward the east.

Answer 2

The same reason the sun and stars all rise in the east and set in the west...  The earth is spinning (rotating) ...

Answer 3

The direction of the Earth's rotation on its axis causes us to see the moon and stars rise in the east.  As I'm sure you know, there is no north, south, east, or west in space.  These apply only on a planet, so we see them rise in the east from our perspective on Earth.  As the Earth turns, we see them cross the sky and set in the west.

Answer 4

...because of the direction of rotation of the Earth on its axis.

Answer 5

no one knows

Answer 6

The moon does not rise and it does not set.  The earth is rotating on it's axis.  As it rotates around toward the moon we begin to see it and as it rotates further it turns away from the moon and then you don't see it.  Get it?
