The Earth's rotation causes the sun and moon to 'rise' and 'set. The rotation also causes the sun and moon to move across the sky from east to west, but really this is an illusion we see on out planet.
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.
A full moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise, appearing on the opposite side of the sky as the sun. This is because a full moon is directly opposite the sun in the sky.
The moon rises in the east and sets in the west.
It actually doesn't. It is an optical illusion. It happens because when it is lower down, there are more things to compare it to along the horizon. When it is higher up, it is out on its own so it looks smaller.
It is because of the spin of the earth

The waxing crescent will rise and set 6 hours or less after the sun does.

For the same reason that the Sun and the Moon rise and set. That's the result of Earth's rotation.
The moon, the sun and the stars all rise in the east and set in the west due to the rotation of the earth.
The Sun doesn't "chase" anything. Sun, Moon, and stars seem to rise and set, due to the rotation of planet Earth.
This is because Earth rotates towards the East. As a result, the Sun, the Moon, and the stars all seem to rise in the east, and go towards the west.

No. Just observe the Moon for a few days!Due to the Moon's orbit around the Earth, every day it will rise approximately 50 minutes later than the day before. For example, at full moon, it will rise more or less at sunset; at new moon, it will rise and set together with the Sun.
