There are 360 degrees in a full circle, and the moon takes about 28 days to complete an orbit. 360/28 = 12.8 or (rounding up) 13 degrees per day. Other factors that must be considered are that the moon and earth revolve around the sun.

Earth's rate of rotation is once every 24 hours. If the lunar orbit were 24 days, the moon would appear to rise one hour slower each day. Since it is 28 days, it is not quite one hour off.

The moon orbits the earth, therefore it will always be in a different spot each day or night so will rise later each day by 48 minutes. This also affects what time the moon will set and when it will reach it's highest point in the sky.


Does the moon rise the same time each day?

No, the moonrise time changes each day due to the moon's orbit around the Earth. The moon rises about 50 minutes later each day, so it does not rise at the exact same time each day.
