The moon is not actually forced to rise, but appears to be rising because of the orbit of the moon and the rotation of the earth. The movement of the planets and the moon makes them appear to rise and set.

The moon rises due to the gravitational pull of the Earth. As Earth rotates, different parts of its surface experience the gravitational pull of the moon, causing it to rise in the sky. The moon's orbit also plays a role in its rising and setting times.
