It is more than one solar day from one moonrise to the next - about 24 hours and 58 minutes.

Here (Sydney) the moon did not:
set on Feb 12 (23:56 on the 11th and 00:42 on the 13th),
transit on Feb 17 (23:26 on the 16th and 00:22 on the 18th),
rise on Feb 25 (23:24 on the 24th and 00:15 on the 26th).

Those figures are from Cartes du Ciel and the dates vary from place to place.
