When does a full moon rise?

Answer 1

Think about it for a second.... The Earth is round. There are several time zones around the earth. If a full moon occurs at 1:28 pm in Anchorage, it is also occurring at 11:28pm in Bellgrade.

Full moons occur when the moon is at a point in it's orbit were it is opposite the sun relative to the Earth. So, the better question is, what time during the month does a full moon occur?

Answer 2

A lunar eclipse occurs exactly at the time of Full Moon. Whenever that may happen to be,

it's night-time on half of the earth, and day-time on the other half. Somewhere on earth,

it's any hour you want to choose.

The eclipse can't be seen from any place where the sun is up. but it's visible from every place

where the sun is down. That means that for any hour you name between sunset and sunrise,

there are people somewhere watching the eclipse whose clocks are reading that hour.

And at the same instant during the eclipse, for any hour you name between sunrise and

sunset, there are people somewhere whose clocks read that hour and who can't see the

eclipse, even though it's definitely in progress.

Answer 3

Each full moon occurs approximately 29.5 days after the previous one. Because of the way months are defined in the Gregorian calendar, it does not always occur at the same time of the month, if that's what you mean. However, there are calendars based on the Moon - notably the Jewish and Muslim calendars. Since in those calendars, the month by definition starts at new moon, full moon is somewhere around the 15th or the 16th of the month.

Answer 4

At Sunset. See the full answer at "What time of day does the full moon rise?" Good luck.

Answer 5

The full moon phase occurs anytime when the side of the moon that we see is lit up completely by the sun.

Answer 6

A full moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise, as it is directly opposite the sun in the sky. This means it typically rises in the east just as the sun is setting in the west.
