That would depend on your latitude; for example, for an observer in Australia or anywhere more than 30 degrees south of the equator, the Moon will NEVER appear in the southern sky.

But from North America, the "first quarter" moon appears to the south at sunset.

How many times does the moon rise in a 24 hour period?

Moonrise occurs about 57 times every 59 days, so on most days there is one moonrise, but about once a month there is a day without a moonrise (the moon rises a little before midnight of the previous day and a little after midnight of the following day).


Can the moon rise after sunrise?

Yes, as the moon is orbiting the Earth, the moon rises and sets at different times each day or night. All of the waxing moon phases (i.e. waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous) rise during the daytime before sunset.


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.
