Earth’s rotation makes the Moon appear to cross the sky each day, while the Moon’s orbit shifts the times of those crossings. Both events can happen by day or by night.
What do moonrise and moonset mean?
Moonrise and moonset are opposite horizon crossings: the Moon rises into view above the horizon, then later sets below it. The U.S. Naval Observatory (USNO) defines their times by when the Moon’s apparent upper limb—the visible disk’s upper edge—is on the astronomical horizon. USNO: Rise, Set, and Twilight Definitions

That detail matters because the Moon is a disk, not a point. A published moonrise time is not simply the instant its center geometrically reaches a perfectly sharp horizon. The USNO calculation convention accounts for the Moon’s apparent size, parallax, and adopted atmospheric refraction to approximate when the upper edge appears tangent to a level, unobstructed horizon.

Why does the Moon rise and set?
Earth’s rotation carries an observer around beneath the sky, making the Moon appear to move across it and cross the local horizon. In general, it rises in the eastern part of the sky and sets in the western part, under ideal observing conditions. Geoscience Australia: Moonrise and Moonset

The Moon is also moving along its orbit around Earth. After Earth has turned once, the Moon has shifted eastward against the background sky, so Earth must rotate a little farther before the Moon returns to the same point in the sky. That is why its rise and set times change from one date to the next.
Why does moonrise happen later on many successive days?
NASA Science says the Moon rises, on average, about 50 minutes later each day during its month-long cycle. This is an average, not a fixed daily interval: the actual change depends on the date and location. NASA explains that the Moon takes about 27.5 days to orbit Earth, and its movement during Earth’s rotation is what makes Earth turn farther before the Moon comes back into view.

Can the Moon rise or set during the day?
Yes. Moonrise and moonset can occur at any time of day. The Moon is sometimes visible in daylight, though it can be harder to spot against the bright sky. The event times are not tied to sunrise and sunset.
The phase helps explain the broad pattern. NASA describes a full Moon as rising around sunset, while a new Moon is up all day. These are useful general descriptions, not promises of an exact local rise or set time. NASA: Moon Phases

Why might the published time differ from what you see?
Almanac times are calculated for a level, unobstructed horizon and average atmospheric conditions. The USNO notes that refraction near the horizon varies, so even ideal-condition calculations can differ from the observed event by a minute or more. Terrain and the observer’s height can have a larger effect: a mountain ridge may hide the Moon after its calculated rise or keep it visible beyond the calculated set. USNO: Rise, Set, and Twilight Definitions
These differences are especially significant at high latitudes, where the Moon can cross the horizon at a shallow angle. Refraction, elevation, and local terrain can then shift the apparent crossing more noticeably. The USNO also notes that a moonrise or moonset may not occur at a particular place on a particular date.
