Where is the full moon at sunset?
When the moon is full, it will just be rising in the east as sunset. The full moon is exactly opposite the position of the sun.
Is the new moon always located in the day time sky?
yes
What is the scientific explanation of the moon's absence?
The moon doesn't always rise and set at night, sometimes it rises and sets during the day. This is dependent on the phase of the moon. The moon circles the earth once every 28 days. The closer to full the moon is, the more hours it spends in the sky at night, because it is on the opposite side of the earth as the sun. That's why it is full - the sun is behind you, lighting the moon in front of you. A completely full moon will rise as the sun sets, and set as the sun rises, and will be visible all night. The closer to "new" the moon is, the fewer hours it spends in the sky during the night, and the more time it spends during the day because it is on the SAME side of the earth as the sun. It appears "new" because the sun is behind it, lighting the far side of the moon. A completely new moon will rise and set with the sun, and will only be visible in the day.. or briefly at dusk. A half-moon is up half the day and half the night. If you don't see a half-moon at night, it has either already set or hasn't risen yet.
Can the sun and the moon be out at the same time?
Yes, but during the day it is harder to see the moon but it happens a lot. Yes. The moon takes about 25 hours to circle the earth, so if you start on a night when the moon rises as the sun sets, about 12 days later they will rise together. It happens once a month (twice occasionally) and is called the "New Moon".
Why you can not always see the moon?
In a clear sky you might not see the Moon because of the rotation of the Earth on its axis. The Moon will rise about 50 minutes later each day due to its orbit around the Earth, so it will depend on both the time of day and where it is in its monthly orbit.
What time of the day do you expect the new moon to rise?
The new moon rises about the same time that the Sun does.
When will be the moon rise in Scarborough?
The moon will rise roughly 45 to 50 minutes after the sun, for every day that has passed since New Moon.
What is the rise time of a New Moon in Alamogordo NM?
Since the new moon is between the Sun and the Earth, it will always rise at sunrise, whatever the time of sunrise is at any particular location.
Do the moon always rise when the sun set?
No. Just observe the Moon for a few days!Due to the Moon's orbit around the Earth, every day it will rise approximately 50 minutes later than the day before. For example, at full moon, it will rise more or less at sunset; at new moon, it will rise and set together with the Sun.
Does the moon rise every night?
No. Depending on the phase of the moon, it can either rise at night or during the day. When it is a new moon it cannot be seen at all because the sun is behind it. If the sun is directly behind it and lined up then it is called a solar eclipse.
Where is the full moon at sunset?
When the moon is full, it will just be rising in the east as sunset. The full moon is exactly opposite the position of the sun.
When does the moon rise with sun?
The only time the moon rises with the sun is during a lunar eclipse. Lunar eclipses only occur during a new moon when the moon is between the earth and the sun.
Is the new moon always located in the day time sky?
yes

What time does a 3 day old moon rise?
The moon is constantly lagging the sun, traveling a circuit 'backwards' around the sky that runs 29.53 days. So each day, the moon is 1/29.53 of a day farther behind the sun, and after 29.53 days, the sun has 'lapped' the moon. The sun and moon are together at the time of New Moon. Three days later, the moon is 3/29.53 days lagging behind the sun, so it should be rising nominally 2.44 hours after the sun rises. There are a lot of slopes, tilts, refractions and eccentricities that modify the number, but this is the 'quick and dirty' way to figure it out . . . 1/29.53 day, or 49 minutes, farther behind the sun each day, starting with zero at New Moon.
Can the sun and the moon be out at the same time?
Yes, but during the day it is harder to see the moon but it happens a lot. Yes. The moon takes about 25 hours to circle the earth, so if you start on a night when the moon rises as the sun sets, about 12 days later they will rise together. It happens once a month (twice occasionally) and is called the "New Moon".
Is it right to say new moon day or no moon day?
"No-moon" would be more accurate, but it is traditionally known as "new moon".
