Why does the moon move further across the sky every day?

I’m talking about how one night it will be in one spot in the sky, and the next night at the same time it will be to the side of where it was the day before.

The moon takes 27 days, 7 hours and 43 minutes to circle the Earth / 29.5 days to go from one full moon to the next. Each day it appears about 50 minutes behind the last. It’s circling the Earth so it doesn’t stay in the same spot.
