The apparent daily rising and setting of EVERY natural object
in the sky, as seen from virtually anywhere on Earth ... the sun,
every other star, the moon, every planet, comet, asteroid, galaxy,
etc. ... is the result of the daily rotation of the Earth itself.

Roughly every 24 hours, your eyes get turned in a complete circle. 
To keep watching any one thing in the sky, the direction you have
to look keeps turning.  In order to stare at the moon, you need to turn
your eyes, and eventually turn your head.  You don't feel the Earth
turning, so your brain decides that the Moon must be moving across
the sky.

The Earth's revolution in its orbit has nothing to do with the apparent
daily rising and setting of anything.
