What phase of the moon is rising at 7 PM?

Answer 1

by the time the Earth has completed one rotation (in 24 h), the Moon is in a slightly different place because it has traveled along about 1/30 of the way in it's orbit around the Earth in that 24-h period. That's why the moon rises and sets about 50 mins.

Answer 2

The full moon rises at about Sunset. Each night, it comes up about 48 minutes later.

The synodic period of the Moon is about 29.53 days, so a full moon will occur about once every 29 and a half days.

Answer 3

In order for the moon to appear fully illuminated by the sun, the Earth has to be in between them. In other words, when the moon is full, the sun is opposite in the sky, and we are in the middle. So when the full moon is rising, the sun is setting.

The precise time of sunrise, moonrise, sunset or moonset is dependent on your location and the date. For any particular date and location, you can calculate these times on the U.S. Naval Observatory's web page at the link below the article.

Answer 4

The "New Moon" rises about the same time the Sun does, and sets about the same time the Sun does. With the Moon being almost in between the Sun and the Earth, it is very difficult to see the New Moon. (If the Moon were exactly between the Earth and the Sun, it would cause a solar eclipse.)

Answer 5

The full moon reaches its highest point in the sky at midnight.

Answer 6

It can rise at any time. It depends on your location and the relative position of the moon.

Answer 7

The moon appears full when it's exactly opposite the sun in the sky. So it lags

the sun's position by 12 hours, rising at sunset and setting at sunrise.

Answer 8

At full moon, the Moon rises approximately at sunset.

Answer 9

A new moon rises at about the same time as the sun.

Answer 10

A new moon will rise at 6am and set at 6pm. On every day thereafter, it rises 50 minutes later.
