[man.vs.wild]

i never really thought of this until last night when i was riding home with my mom and it dawned on me in the wilderness does the moon have the same principle as the sun ( rise in the east sets in the wesy ) is it oppisite or does it not have a pattern:confused: :confused: :confused:

The moon rises in the east and sets in the west yes, but its traveling west to east. Jest like the sun it rises and sets once a day east to west because we are spinning west to east. But its actually traveling slowly the other direction. If your navigating by it then yes you navigate just like the sun
This website explains it better. Scroll down to Which Direction Does The Moon Move?
