This is a great site, I use it for my kids home schooling and it's priceless. I wish I could contribute more to the site, money right now is just too tight, but if there is ever a need for help, I sure am here to help where ever I'd be needed.
Thanks for helping my kids!

What else can I help you with?
When does the lunar cycle occur?
It is happening all the time. The lunar cycle is the 29-day cycle of new moon, first quarter moon, full moon, last quarter moon and new moon again, and repeat.
Why does a third quarter moon set at noon?
It sets only approximately at noon, the actual time can vary a couple of hours each way. But the third-quarter moon is 90 degrees ahead of the sun (i.e. to the right when viewed from the northern hemisphere) as measured along the ecliptic. Therefore it must set a few hours before the sun. In the same way the first-quarter moon rises during the day and the full moon rises at sunset.
What phase of the moon rises at noon and sets at midnight?
There is no phase of the Moon that does exactly that every time, but approximately it is first-quarter, which is a half moon with the bright side to the west.To rise at noon and set at midnight the Moon has to be around zero degrees declination (i.e. on the equator) and on the ecliptic 90 degrees behind the Sun. That happens around the summer solstice, June 21, or the winter solstice, December 21.
What approximate time will the full moon set?
sunrise
Who was the 3rd person to set foot on the moon?
Charles "Pete" Conrad (USA) was the third person to set foot on the moon. He set foot on the lunar surface on November 19th, 1969.
What time does a first quarter moon set?
Nominally midnight.
What time of day does the last quarter of the moon set?
Dawn.

When will the half moon appear in June?
At the time of the "First Quarter" and "Third Quarter" phases, the moon appears half-illuminated. These occasions are roughly 7 days and 21 days after New Moon respectively, and Full Moon occurs at the time exactly midway between them. Note: Both phases are easily visible in the daytime. First Quarter rises in the east around Noon, and Third Quarter sets in the west around Noon.
The moon looks like a half-circle about a week later on another clear nght you go outside and you cannot see the moon predict how much of the moon you will see after another week passes?
The obviously desired answer is "a half-circle", because you originally saw the 3rd quarter moon, and a week later the Moon would have been new. So after another week, you would see the first-quarter moon. However, if you go outside on a clear evening, you will not see the third-quarter Moon, because the third-quarter Moon does not rise until midnight. So if you saw the third quarter moon high in the sky, it would have been at about 3AM. I don't know about YOU, but I'm hardly ever up at 3AM, and if I am, I'm inside. And if you do not see the Moon at night, all that tells you is that you don't see the Moon. Depending on the time, it may not be up yet, or it may already have set.

Which phase of the moon happens right after a third quarter moon?
The lunar cycle begins at the New Moon when the moon has just passed the sun in its travel from west to east in the "pm" sky, and it sets just after sunset. After a week the moon is a quarter of its way around the Earth and so at sunset it is high in the sky. This is called the First Quarter. The first Quarter Moon follows the sun from east to west and sets at midnight. When the moon has done half of its monthly journey, it is on the side of the Earth opposite the Sun and the Moon is Full. It rises at sunset and can be seen in the sky all night, setting at dawn. In the Third Quarter Phase, the moon is three quarters of the way around and at sunset it is directly below us. It has apparently shifted from the sunset area (at New Moon) to overhead at sunset (First Quarter) to Eastern horizon at sunset (Full Moon), to below us at sunset (Third Quarter). At Third Quarter, the Moon rises at midnight and will be high in the sky at sunrise. It will set about mid-day.
What time does a new moon set?
The New Moon rises and sets at roughly the same time as the sun.
Does the moon set at the same time every day?
No
What approximate time will the full moon set?
sunrise
Where does Venus set if Moon is between new Moon and first quarter?
Every object visible in the sky sets in the west.The phase of the moon has no relationship to and no effect onthe motion of any other natural object in the sky.
