The Moon always keeps the same side facing the Earth.
So, whatever direction you name, there is some place on the Moon from which the Earth appears in that direction, and if the observer doesn't move to a different place on the Moon, then the Earth doesn't move either. It's always in the same direction. The concept of "Earth rise" or "Earth set" does not apply on the Moon.
(This video from Apollo 8 came as the spacecraft was circling the Moon in orbit.)
Note that for about half of the Moon's surface (the far side), the Earth is never visible. During the full moon, very little of Earth is illuminated by the Sun, as seen from the Moon.
What else can I help you with?
At which direction does the moon orbit the sun?
half
Why are tides greater at the times of the full and new moons and at the times of lunar and solar eclipses?
Full Moons and New Moons are "eclipse season", since eclipses happen only at those times. They are the times when the sun earth and moon are closest to being in a straight line. So the tidal effects of the moon and the sun are working together. The sun's tidal effects on the earth are not very strong compared to the moon's, but they do have the effect of adding to the lunar tides as these times.
What is the relative locations of the sun earth and the moon during a new moon phase?
During the new moon, the Moon is in the same direction as the Sun - in front of the Sun, basically, since the Sun is farther away.
What is the relationship between the moon sun and earth during high tides?
All three are in line, so the Moon is either opposite to the Sun (close to full moon), or in the same direction as the Sun (close to new moon).
If the new moon was visible where would you look to see the new moon when it rises?
At new moon, the Moon is right next to the Sun - that is, you see it in the same direction, more or less. At new moon, the Moon rises together with the Sun.
How will you describe the moon when its is in the general direction of the sun?
When the moon is in the general direction of the sun as seen from Earth, then we're looking at the part of it that's not illuminated all by the sun, and we see no moon at all.
How do the moon phases depend on the relative positions of the sun the moon and the earth?
For example, when the Moon is opposite to the Sun, it is full moon; when it is in the same direction as the Sun, it is new moon.
At which direction does the moon orbit the sun?
half
When the lighted part of the moon faces in the direction of the sun the moon is called what?
a full moon
The horns of the crescent moon point where?
The horns of the crescent moon point in the direction of the sun.
Where is the moon during a new moon?
its still there, except the sun is not shining in its direction.

During the new moon, the Moon is in the same direction as the Sun - in front of the Sun, basically, since the Sun is farther away.
What words describe a new moon?
when the moon is beetween the earth and sun
How can you locate the direction of sun using shadows?
The Moon LOL!
Does the sun go in front of the moon or does the moon go in front of the sun?
The Moon goes in front of the Sun. The Moon is closer to the Earth than the Sun, so when both the Moon and Sun can be seen from the Earth (i.e. they are both in the same direction) the Moon will always be closer.
When does the sun's gravity combine the Moon's gravity?
It combines at all times. Poorly worded, meaningless question. During a solar eclipse (Sun, Moon,Earth all in line) the gravitational pull in the direction of the Moon would be the greatest. During a lunar eclipse (Moon, Earth, Sun in a line) the Moon's pull would be in the opposite direction of the Sun's gravity.
