What makes the moon rise?

Question

a)Alignment of the stars
2) Earth's rotation
3) Moon orbits about the Earth

Is the answer (2)?

Answer 1

2 and 3 are both involved.

If the moon stood still (like the sun) #2 would do it

If the earth did not rotate, #3 would still cause the moon to appear to rise and set, but it would only do it once a month, instead of once a day.

I think #2 is the best answer here.
