In a 24-hour period, the Moon completes one rotation on its axis and orbits the Earth, resulting in its appearance changing slightly in position across the night sky. While it does not make a full orbit around the Earth in that time (which takes about 27.3 days), its position shifts due to the Earth’s rotation and the Moon’s own orbital motion. Additionally, the Moon's phase may appear to change as it reflects sunlight differently, influenced by its position relative to the Earth and the Sun.
