The exact time the moon reaches it's highest point in the sky varies with the moon's phases, but using the four major moon phases as an example, the New Moon is highest at noon, First Quarter is highest at sunset, Full Moon is highest at midnight and Third Quarter is highest at sunrise.

What moon phase is highest in the sky at sunrise?

The moon phase that is highest in the sky at sunrise is the full moon. During this phase, the moon is directly opposite the sun in the sky, which means it rises around sunset and is highest at midnight. By sunrise, the full moon will have already begun to set, but it can still be seen high in the sky just before it descends.


Where in the sky will the full moon appear at sunset?

The full moon will appear in the eastern sky at sunset, as the sun is setting in the west. The moon rises in the east as the sun sets in the west, and it reaches its highest point in the sky around midnight.


When is the phase moon is highest at solar noon?

The phase of the moon that is highest in the sky at solar noon is typically the full moon. This occurs because, during a full moon, the moon is positioned opposite the sun, rising at sunset and setting at sunrise. As a result, it reaches its highest point in the sky around solar noon. Conversely, during the new moon phase, the moon is generally not visible at solar noon, as it is close to the sun in the sky.

What time does the moon reach its apex?

I suppose you mean when the Moon reaches its highest point above the horizon. It mainly depends on where the Moon is in its orbit around Earth. For example, the Full Moon is seen when the Moon is opposite the Sun in the sky. So, Full Moon is highest around midnight. At New Moon, the Moon is highest in the sky around noon, because it's near the Sun in the sky. Actually you can't usually see it then, of course, because of the Sun. So, you can see the Moon at its highest at many different times depending on the phase of the Moon (which depends on where the Moon is in its orbit).

Full Moon. I think it could be more or less any phase. The phase of the Moon doesn't change much from moonrise until the Moon sets. True. But it is only the Full Moon that rises as the sun sets, and so is highest in the sky ... due south for northern-hemisphere observers ... at Midnight.
