How does the moon cause a day?

The moon has nothing to do with defining an earth day. A day is the length of time it takes for the earth to turn all the way around (rotate) once. When your spot of the earth turns around toward the sun, you see the sun "rise," but it's the earth that's turning. The sun isn't actually rising at all. It's at the center, and the earth goes around it, turning once a day as it goes. The moon goes around (orbits) the earth just as the earth goes around (orbits) the sun.
