Does the moon rise in the east and set in the west?
The moon takes about a month (one moonth) to orbit the Earth. Although the moon rises in the east and sets in the west each day (due to Earth’s spin), it’s also moving on the sky’s dome each day due to its own motion in orbit around Earth. That westward motion is caused by Earth’s spin.

Why is the moon in a different place tonight?
The answer is that the moon is moving. So the moon’s motion has two parts to it. It looks like it’s moving around the earth once per day along with everything else, but in addition to that it is actually moving around the earth once per month. That is what makes it move to a different place on the sky.
