How will you describe the moon when it is in the general direction of the sun?
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.
