We can see the Moon becauselight from the Sun reflects off it back to the Earth. If the Sun wasn't there, we wouldn't be able to see it. The Sun always lights up (illuminates) half of the Moon at one time. The Moon appears to change shape but what we actually seeing is the Moon lit up by the light from the Sun in different ways on different days.

Because that is the direction of the Moons orbit around the Earth.
Look at the Moon on one evening, note its apparent position among the stars. Next evening, (or later that night) note the Moons apparent position. You will see that the moon has moved Eastward.
The Moon revolves counter clockwise around the Earth (as seen from above the north pole) as the Earth is rotating counter clockwise around the Sun and also revolving counter clockwise on its own axis.
In fact, the Moon appears to move from East to West in the sky each night. That's because the Earth rotates towards the East.
However, there is also a smaller real eastward motion.
Each night the Moon moves eastward relative to the background of stars.
That's caused by the fact that the Moon is orbiting the Earth in an easterly direction.
So, the answer is "because of the Moon's orbital motion around the Earth".
The moon is in every part of the sky at some time during every month.
Wherever you saw the moon at whatever time of night, make a note on your calendar to go out and look again 29 nights later. You should see the same-shape moon in the same place at the same time of night.
On the night of 9-14, the moon rose at about 3:00 in the morning, and was well up there by 5:00. It was about 25% lighted. Did you notice the planet Mars right next to the moon ?
The moon will again be the same shape, in the same place, at 5:00 in the morning on October 13. It'll be right next to Mars again. That should be a pretty sight.
The Moon NEVER rises in the west. If you happen to see it in the west, it will be going down, not rising.
The moon appears to move from east to west.
No, it does not.
east to west
stars do not move at all. what you are seeing is the earths rotation. The stars seem to set with the sun and the moon because weare turning. (earth's axis)
Moon buggies move around the moon using their huge wheels that have to be solid and able to move around uneven grounds. ( the moon!)
It appears to move from the east to west.
The moon roates around the earth from east to west.
The moon appears to move from east to west.
No, it does not.
it travels west to east
east to west
east 2 west
During the course of a month, the moon moves through the stars from west to east, and also rotates from west to east on its own axis. (During the course of one day, the moon appears to move through the sky from east to west, but that doesn't really happen.)

The waning gibbous phase of the Moon. Think of it this way. The full moon rises at sunset, and sets around sunrise. The Moon's apparent motion in the sky is "backwards"; everything seems to move east to west, but from evening to evening, the Moon seems to be moving west to east. So the phase of the Moon that sets a couple of hours before sunrise is the waning gibbous moon, about 3 days past the full.

Snorlax can learn that move via move tutor that move tutor is west of cerulean city but you can't get to him unless you go through mt moon.
