The moon rotates around the earth, and as it does so, our view of it makes it appear to 'rise' and 'set,' though really it's just spinning around us.

What do we say when the sun goes down over the horizon?
We say that it is 'setting,' but this is apparent motion, and not true motion. The same is true for the rising and setting of the moon and fixed stars. There is another spectacular example of apparent motion that is different from true motion. Because the moon 'rises' in the east and 'sets' in the west, it is easy to think that it is "moving" from east to west. In fact, the moon's orbit around the earth is from west to east. The slow (monthly) orbit of the moon along with the 24-hour rotation of the earth give us the impression of the moon's apparent motion.
