From the point of view of someone standing on the surface of the Earth, the Moon rises in the east and sets in the west, just like the Sun. So it appears to be moving from east to west. In fact, however, the Earth is rotating from west to east "under" the Moon and Sun.

∙ 12y agoDuring a single day, the moon appears to travel westward in the sky, just exactly
like everything else we see in the sky except birds and airplanes. I know this is
so because last night I looked at the moon when I got home at 6:00 and then I
looked at it again when I took the dog for a walk at 9:00 and it was west of the
first place where it was at 6:00. My wife doesn't trust my answers either.
