Answer:
Explanation:
The Earth's rotation on its axis makes the Sun rise in the east and set in the west, and is a big part of why the Moon rises and sets too; although the Moon takes 29 days to complete an orbit around the Earth as well.

Answer:
There's no eclipse at every full moon and new moon because the moon's orbit is inclined to Earth's orbit by about five degrees.
