At any given location, when the moon is furthest north or south, the moon will be visible for a longer period of time in the same hemisphere as the moon's position than the opposite hemisphere, where the moon is lower in the sky. In the polar regions, the moon can be above or below the horizon (like the sun) for the full 24 hours.
