The time difference between sunrise and sunset for the sun is approximately 12 hours because that's how Earth spins, babe. As for the moon, it doesn't have a 'sunrise' or 'sunset' per se, so its time difference between day and night depends on its orbit and where you are standing. So, clocks out, it's time to enjoy those celestial views! üåûüåù
You will never see a new moon during daytime sunrise or sunset. During the new moon phase, the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, making it nearly invisible from our perspective. Consequently, it does not reflect sunlight and is not visible in the sky during those times.
Yes, the moon can sometimes be visible before sunset and after sunrise. This is particularly true during certain phases of the lunar cycle when the moon is closer to the horizon and the sky is still partially lit by the sun.
full moon
The moon does not have sunrise and sunset like Earth because it does not have an atmosphere to scatter sunlight. Instead, the moon experiences periods of darkness when it is on the side opposite the Sun, and periods of illumination when it is facing the Sun.
You will never see a new moon during the daytime after sunrise and before sunset. This is because the new moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, making it nearly invisible from our perspective on Earth. As a result, it is only visible at night when it is in the opposite part of the sky from the Sun.
You probably can, if you can see a sunrise!!

The moon phase that occurs after sunset and before sunrise is the waxing crescent. This phase appears as a thin sliver of light on the right side of the moon. It is considered the beginning phase of the lunar cycle.
full moon
No, when the Earth is in the middle it's Full Moon and the Moon is up from sunset to sunrise.
You will never see a crescent moon during sunrise and before sunset because the moon rises and sets with the sun and when the crescent moon is visible, it is typically seen later in the evening or early in the morning.

I don't think there is one. It's possible, though rare, for the moon to be full just after sunrise or just before sunset ... this happened recently in Southern California, when there was a lunar eclipse visible right about the time of sunrise. Lunar eclipses can only occur when the moon is full. (Technically, the moon wasn't "full", exactly; that had occurred a few hours before ... but it was so close that the difference was unnoticeable to the naked eye.)

Because the atmosphere on the moon is very thin. On earth, the light refracts back down to earth, extending the sunrise and sunset. On the moon, the light has nothing in the atmosphere to bounce off of.
The difference is great. Even on Earth, there is a temperature difference whether you're in the sun, or not, or before and after sunrise/sunset. On the moon, there is no atmosphere, so the temperature difference is great. The temperature can range up to 280 Celsius above down to -250 Celsius--close to absolute zero.
