I just recently started tracking moon's location in sky and it's rise and set time. It started with a couple nights of cloudy weather. The next clear night I was looking where I thought the moon would be and I wasn't even close! Ha-ha! Doing a little research, I think the moon sets in the west although it revolves east around the Earth, but the earth rotates east faster to give the illusion that it(the moon) is setting in the west. Correct?
Also, when will the moon be in roughly the same location the next day. ie: At 9pm the moon will be in same place 55 minutes later the next day?
