Yes. It's not the sky that's moving, it's the Earth (well, the Moon does move also, but MOST of the apparent motion of the stars, Sun and Moon come from the rotation of the Earth ... the Moon's actual movement acts to reduce its apparent motion, since it's actually travelling from west to east. This is why it rises a little later each day).
When does the moon set and rise
Yes - EVERYTHING in the sky rises and sets, because Earth rotates on it's axis.
Constellations rise and set over the course of a year due to the Earth's orbit and axial tilt. The constellations that are visible at night depend on the season and time of night, as well as the location on Earth. For example, in the Northern Hemisphere, constellations like Orion and Taurus are prominent in the winter sky, while in the summer, constellations like Scorpius and Sagittarius are more visible.
Yes, the sun and moon rise and set every day due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis. This daily cycle results in the apparent movement of the sun and moon across the sky, causing them to rise in the east and set in the west.
No, the moon rises in the east and sets in the west, following the same direction as the sun. This is because of the rotation of the Earth on its axis.
When does the moon set and rise
Stars and constellations appear to rise and set due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis. As the Earth rotates, different stars and constellations come into view or move out of view from a specific location on Earth, giving the illusion of them rising and setting.
Every natural object in the sky appears to rise in the east and set in the west.

Because of the Earth's rotation.

Yes, Orion does rise and set in the sky like all other stars and constellations. Its visibility in the night sky is seasonal and depends on its position relative to the horizon from your location. Orion is generally viewable in the Northern Hemisphere during the winter months.
All of them. Well, that's not entirely accurate. At the Equator, EVERY constellation seems to rise in the East and set in the west. At the mid-latitudes, there are some constellations that are "circum-polar"; they never actually rise, and never actually set. In most of the United States, for example, the constellations of Ursa Major and Cassiopeia never rise; they become visible in the sky when the Sun sets, and they disappear into the lightening sky when the Sun rises. In the Arctic or Antarctic regions, MOST stars and constellations are circum-polar. But all the constellations that rise, rise in the East. And if they set at all, they set in the west. And I need ANOTHER correction - because none of the stars move enough in a lifetime for them to change their positions in the sky. It's the Earth itself that does the spinning, and the rising and setting that we THINK we see is an effect of us living on a globe that's spinning like a carousel.
