HELLO,
The moon rises about an hour later each day, actually, 54 minutes later. Since the moon pulls up the tides, these two delays are connected. As the earth rotates through one day, the moon moves in its orbit. A point on the earth must move a little farther than one rotation to line up with the moon again.
