Detailed explanation-1: -This movement is from the Moon’s orbit, which takes 27 days, 7 hours and 43 minutes to go full circle. It causes the Moon to move 12–13 degrees east every day. This shift means Earth has to rotate a little longer to bring the Moon into view, which is why moonrise is about 50 minutes later each day.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Moon makes 1 complete orbit of the Earth every 27.3 days. It travels around the Earth at about 4, 000 kilometres an hour. We see the Moon because it reflects the Sun’s light. We only see the part of the Moon that is lit up by the Sun.
Detailed explanation-3: -Does the Moon orbit Earth? Yes. The Moon takes about one month to orbit Earth (27.3 days to complete a revolution, but 29.5 days to change from New Moon to New Moon). As the Moon completes each 27.3-day orbit around Earth, both Earth and the Moon are moving around the Sun.
