What time of the day do you expect the new moon to rise?

The new moon is not visible in the sky as it rises and sets with the sun during the day. It's the moon phase when the moon is directly between the Earth and the sun, so it rises and sets with the sun and is not observable.


What is the period of time it takes the moon to orbit the earth?

1 day


How many days are there in a new moon phase?

The actual "new moon" is a moment, a point in time; it doesn't really have a duration. But for practical purposes, there is one day on which the Moon is generally not visible at all, and this is the day of the new moon. One day later, you will be able to see a thin crescent Moon - the one that some people call "Diana's Bow" - very low in the evening sky next to the setting Sun.Most people aren't up and out in the hour before sunrise, but if you were to look up to the east just as dawn was breaking the day BEFORE the new moon, you would be able to see the crescent moon then, as well.


The reasons why high tides come at a different time each day?

When the moon is going in its orbit, because it is an elipse, it will be closer to the Earth at different times. Therefore, the Moon's gravity will be stronger, or weaker everyday, which makes it take more or less time between the tides.


How is a lunar day measured?

A lunar day, also known as a "day" on the Moon, is measured as the time it takes for the Moon to complete one rotation on its axis relative to the Sun. This period is equivalent to about 29.5 Earth days.

How did Monday get its name?

The word "Monday" derives from the word "moon." It is the "day of the Moon", "Moon Day" and, eventually, "Monday". This is not unique to the English language. The Romance languages also call that day the Moon's day. In Spanish, for example, Monday is "el lunes," meaning "the moon."


Does the moon rise the same time each day?

No, the moonrise time changes each day due to the moon's orbit around the Earth. The moon rises about 50 minutes later each day, so it does not rise at the exact same time each day.


Can you see the moon and stars at day time?

You can see the moon sometimes


Can a new moon last longer than 1 day?

The "New" moon is single point in time, when the moon is between the Earth and the Sun; it doesn't last even one hour. If the Moon is exactly between the Sun and Earth, then the shadow of the Moon will hit the Earth; we call this an "eclipse of the Sun".


Length of the Moon's day?

The Moon's day, or "lunar day" lasts about 29.5 Earth days, which is the time it takes for the Moon to complete one full rotation on its axis. This is the same amount of time it takes for the Moon to complete one orbit around the Earth.
