This is only an illusion, but the explanation is still uncertain. Sometimes it's said that the Moon seems larger near the horizon because we see objects on the ground which influence our perception of the Moon's size.
However, the illusion can still happen when the Moon is viewed over a clear sea horizon. So that can only be a partial explanation at best.
What else can I help you with?
If the earth didn't rotate would the moon rise in the east or west?
If the Earth didn't rotate, the Moon would still rise in the east and set in the west due to its own orbit around the Earth. The apparent movement of the Moon in the sky is primarily due to the Earth's rotation; however, the Moon's motion would still follow its own path regardless of Earth's rotation.
Will the moon ever rise in the west?
No, the moon will always rise in the east and set in the west due to the Earth's rotation. This pattern is consistent and a fundamental aspect of the Earth's movement.
Does the moon ever rise in the west?
No, the moon never rises in the west. It always rises in the east and sets in the west due to the Earth's rotation.
Where does the moon rise and where does it set?
The moon rises in the east and sets in the west.

Why moon rise some time in west?
The moon never ever rises in the West. Never. Well, I can think of one exception. If you are in a rocket, you may see the sun and moon both rise in the west, as orbital velocity is around 17,000 miles per hour.
Does the moon rise and set clockwise?
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.
When would the sun rise if you are on the moon?

Why do the sun and moon rise?
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.
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.
