The moon rises in the east. The Moon revolves around the Earth and therefore its position as we see it is relative to the Sun and it changes quickly. Within a timespan of 24 hours the Moon's horizontal position changes by approximately 12 degrees in a counter-clockwise direction relative to the Sun. This is the main reason that moonrise and moonset occur later than the day before, and so the Moon does not always rise in the same place in the sky. On some days the Moon does not rise at all so the event will not occur until the day after, this is because the time between moonrises is a bit more than 24 hours. From the South and North Poles of the Earth, they Moon can be seen all around the clock at times.
What else can I help you with?
Do planets and moons have stars?
On the contrary! A star has planets, which circulate it. And planets have moons. Stars do not circle planets.
Do planets always move east against the stars?
All the planets do orbit the sun in the same direction. However, as we orbit the sun quicker than the planets further out from us, and slower than the ones inside us they do at times appear to be moving the other direction.
Do the stars orbit the planets or do planets orbit stars?
Moons orbit planets. Planets orbit stars. Some stars orbit other stars, or orbit their mutual center of gravity. Stars orbit the center of the galaxy. Galaxies may orbit the center of the "galactic group".
How is a planetarium similar to a celestial sphere?
The inside of a planetarium is a sphere with the stars and planets projected on to it. The celestial sphere is an infinite sphere that we imagine has the stars and planets on it. On the celestial sphere only an object's direction matters and its distance is ignored. A viewer at the centre of the planetarium sees stars and planets as they appear in the sky, but viewers in all the seats see approximately the right view.
