Does the sun and moon rise and set everyday?

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.


During which moon cycle does the moon set 2-3 hours after the sun sets?

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


The sun is ahead of the moon in the sky during waxing phases what time would a 10 old moon set if the sun set at 7pm?

The Moon sets about 50 minutes later each day. At the "new moon", the Moon and Sun are very close together in the sky, and rise and set together. 10 days later, the Moon rises (and sets) about 8 hours after the Sun does. So the Moon 10 days after the new would be waxing gibbous, and would set around 3 AM.


What does the sun do when the full moon rises?

Why do the sun and moon rise?

Why can you see the moon at night?

You can see the moon at night because it reflects light from the sun. Even though the sun has set and it is dark on Earth, the moon's surface still reflects enough sunlight to be visible in the night sky.
