It doesn't. It sets LATER on the West Coast.

The way the world rotates means that people in the east see the sun first in the morning. People in the west are the last people to see the sun at nightfall.

Florida is located at a lower latitude compared to other states, so it experiences longer daylight hours and later sunset times. The tilt of the Earth's axis also plays a role in the variation of sunset times throughout the year. Additionally, Florida does not observe daylight saving time, which can contribute to later sunsets during certain periods.

because the earth moves in circles, causing the sun to pass later than different places.

It gets dark earlier on the eastern side of the zone than on the western side of the zone in each time zone because the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

The sun is ahead of the moon in the sky during waxing phases what time would a 10 old moon set if the sun set at 7pm?

The Moon sets about 50 minutes later each day. At the "new moon", the Moon and Sun are very close together in the sky, and rise and set together. 10 days later, the Moon rises (and sets) about 8 hours after the Sun does. So the Moon 10 days after the new would be waxing gibbous, and would set around 3 AM.
