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.

Discuss waxing of the moon phases?
The moon goes through two main phases, waxing and waning. Waxing is when the, from your position on Earth, the moon is systematically getting more visible. Waning is the opposite, when the moon is getting less visible. The moon goes from a new moon,(0% is visible), to a crescent moon (waxing), then to a first quarter (waxing), then a waxing Gibbous, and to a full moon (100% is visible). After a full moon, the moon begins waning to a waning gibbous, then a last quarter, a crescent, and finally a new moon. After this the cycle begins again. These are the visible spectrums of the moon in relation to a point on the Earth.
What is Waxing crescent phases moon?
First Quarter
Which lunar phase would you expect to see during the second week of a lunar phase?

Will shaving or waxing damage your tattoo?
No it will not harm your tattoo at all. If you are shaving you are only cutting the hairs above the skin while a tattoo is done below the skin. If you are waxing you would have to be hairy (like a gorilla) to have that many hair follicles in one section to where you would notice the significance of waxing. So, no worries... go ahead and shave/wax away...

What causes the moon to wax and wane that is going from a crescent to full moon and back to a crescent?
Lunar phases are the result of looking at the illuminated half of the Moon from different viewing geometries; they are not caused by shadows of the Earth on the Moon that occur during a lunar eclipse. The Moon exhibits different phases as the relative geometry of the Sun, Earth and Moon change, appearing as a full moon when the Sun and Moon are on opposite sides of the Earth, and as a new moon (also named dark moon, as it is not visible at night) when they are on the same side. The phases of full moon and new moon are examples of syzygies, which occur when the Earth, Moon and Sun lie (approximately) in a straight line.
Why would an attack be planned with the waxing gibbous moon?
A "waxing gibbous . The Italians would like to be able to see where they are going, & whom they are sooting at. As invaders have learned the hard way for centuries, to invade this mountainous region one must take advantage of everything available to them. - Richard V. Horrell WW 2 Connections In addition to the above (maximal light conditions while still benefitting from the cover of darkness), a waxing gibbous moon The reason this is important is for amphibious landings. Very high tides tend to flood beach defenses (which are usually designed for as far safer to use and more likely to reach the beach intact. One note: modern low-light and infrared technologywi now generally chose to attack during phases close to the new moon ) and in bad(cloudy, ra can have such vision-enhancing equipment) AVOID waxing gibbous moon phases.

What phases of the moon would be visible during the highest spring tide?
Spring Tides occur during two phases, full and new moon. This is because the moon earth and sun are aligned during both of these phases. It is opposite during neap tide, in which the moon and sun meet at a right angle on earth, which means the moon during neap tide is at the first or third (last) quarter phase. Hope this helped! :)
