In which direction and around what time of day does a first quarter Moon rise?
A first quarter moon is 90 degrees from the earth and the sun. Therefore, it rises around noon. Last quarter moons are also at 90 degrees, but the 'other' 90 degrees, 180 degrees from the first quarter position. So last quarter moons rise around midnight. The moon always rises in the east.
How often can you see a moon in the night?
Any moon apart from the new moon can be seen in the night sky, although the only moon phase that is above the horizon the entire night is the full moon.
