How can I find the direction in the sky where the moon is rising each night?

My daughter has been trying to do her science fair project and the sky has not been cooperating lately. I don't know if I am searching it wrong or what I am doing wrong but I can find almanacs to give me time of moon rises but we need the direction (NE, SE, E, where ever it may have been) in relation to our location by zip code or city. I don't know if anyone actually has a website with this information but any information on someone or someplace that can help her would be great! Now that the weather has cleared and she can start she will still need the information going back a week to get the full 2 weeks she is looking for to do her project correctly. Please help!How can I find the direction in the sky where the moon is rising each night?

Doesn't it rise opposite of where the sun is going down?How can I find the direction in the sky where the moon is rising each night?
my mom told me that the moon rises in the east and sets in the west...but idk what timee....it comes uppHow can I find the direction in the sky where the moon is rising each night?
The moon follows the same path as the sun.

Around this time of the year the sun rises almost exactly due East so that's where you will find the Moon
The link below goes to an online view of your night sky according to latitude and longitude. This should give you information about where the moon and many stars should be based upon your location and time of night.
heavens-above.com

has a place on the bottom of the page showing it.
Most would sat the the moon follows the sun but this is impossible since the theory is that the sun does not move .l try these sites for more on this

This link should give you what you want. Put in your location city, and it will give you the time and azimuth of moonrise and moonset for each day in a month.



You will have to use the "configure this site" link, for your location.



And by the way, the moon does not rise due east, or where the sun rises. For March in Jacksonville Florida, it can rise as much as +/- 32 degrees from due east, and as much as 39 degrees away from where the sun rises.
Obviously, it's different from city to city,

but this link might help:

In your case, the Azimuth is measured from the compass-direction north.



PS-

No offense to Morningfoxnorth's post, but I like my link better because it gives the Azimuth in 1/2 hour increments by day/night - but to each their own.





Hope this helps
When the moon is full it will rise when the sun sets. When it is a new moon it will rise at the same time as the sun. Use the phases of the moon as a guide. If it is being lit on the right side then the sun should be towards its right (at your angle it will lit on your left hand side and the sun will also be on your left hand side).
