The moon is constantly lagging the sun, traveling a circuit 'backwards' around the sky
that runs 29.53 days. So each day, the moon is 1/29.53 of a day farther behind the sun,
and after 29.53 days, the sun has 'lapped' the moon.
The sun and moon are together at the time of New Moon. Three days later, the moon
is 3/29.53 days lagging behind the sun, so it should be rising nominally 2.44 hours
after the sun rises.
There are a lot of slopes, tilts, refractions and eccentricities that modify the number,
but this is the 'quick and dirty' way to figure it out . . . 1/29.53 day, or 49 minutes,
farther behind the sun each day, starting with zero at New Moon.

Why does the moon rise in the morning not at night?
The moon rises at various times of the day and night due to its orbit around the Earth. Its rising time changes daily and is influenced by its position relative to the Sun and Earth. The moon can rise in the morning, afternoon, or evening depending on its phase.

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.
What day of the week was named after the moon?

What are the results of breeding moon and moon dragons in DragonVale during the day?
Two moon dragons would make another moon dragon. Two of the same type of dragon always results in the same dragon. The time of day does not make a difference when trying to get a sun or moon dragon. That was a rumor that started just after their release, and still hangs on due to old forum posts.
What time does a three day old moon set?
The new moon sets when the Sun does, somewhere near (depending on the season) 6 PM. (Earlier in the winter, later in the summer, and this doesn't count Daylight Savings Time where applicable.) The Moon "moves backwards" about 12 degrees per day, rising and setting about 45 minutes later each day. So a 3-day old Moon, 3 days past the new, will set about 8:30 PM, VERY roughly, and depending on the declination of the Moon at that point. If you want an accurate answer, the U.S. Naval Observatory's Sunrise/Sunset calculator can provide precise-to-the-minute computations, requiring only the date and your location.
Where did Monday come from?
The name "Monday" is derived from Old English "Monandæg," which translates to "Moon's Day." This reflects a similar naming convention in other languages, where the day is associated with the Moon. The concept of a seven-day week, including Monday, has roots in ancient Babylonian astrology, where each day was linked to a celestial body. The naming of Monday as the day of the Moon has persisted through various cultures and languages over time.
