No. When you think about it, the highest appearance of the moon in the sky
has to take place during the Winter, in either hemisphere.
The moon's orbit is inclined to the ecliptic.
So the highest possible appearance is when the moon is
above the ecliptic AND when the ecliptic is high.
The moon is above the ecliptic for half of every lunar cycle ... 2 weeks out of every 4.
The ecliptic is high at night when it's low during the day ... i.e. in Winter.

Which side of the moon will appear illuminated one week after the full moon?
One week after the full moon, the moon is in its third quarter phase. During this phase, the left half of the moon appears illuminated when viewed from the Northern Hemisphere, while the right half appears illuminated from the Southern Hemisphere. This is because the sunlight is shining on the opposite side of the moon compared to the full moon phase.
If the lunar phase in the northern hemisphere is waxing crescent will the phase in the southern hemisphere be waning crescent?
No. The one and only difference between the appearance of the moon in the north and its appearance in the south is that they are upside-down to one another. With the help of a friend, or something that you can safely lean backwards over, try this on a night when the moon is visible. Look at it in the normal way. Now turn so that you are looking directly behind you-- make a 180-degree turn. Now bend over backwards until you can see the moon. That's virtually how it appears to someone at the southern equivalent of your latitude (without the awkward stretch, of course).
What is after the phase new moon in moon phases?
All of the other phases can be seen after a New Moon, if you just wait long enough.The one that immediately follows the New Moon is the waxing crescent phase.
What moon phase is visible due south at midnight?
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.
What moon phase is one week after full moon?
Known as "First Quarter". The moon appears half-illuminated. If you are in the Northern Hemisphere, it is the half you see to your RIGHT. The moon rises in the east at roughly Noon, and sets in the west at roughly Midnight.
What phase the Northern Hemisphere see while the Southern Hemisphere is seeing a waxing moon?
the same
What side of the moon would have reflected light if it is in a waning phase?
If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, the left side of the moon is illuminated. If you live in the Southern Hemisphere, the right side of the moon is illuminated. Regardless of hemisphere, the western half of the moon is illuminated during the waning moon phases.
Which side of the moon will appear illuminated one week after the full moon?
One week after the full moon, the moon is in its third quarter phase. During this phase, the left half of the moon appears illuminated when viewed from the Northern Hemisphere, while the right half appears illuminated from the Southern Hemisphere. This is because the sunlight is shining on the opposite side of the moon compared to the full moon phase.
What side of the moon is lit when the moon is waxing?
When the moon is waxing, the right side of the moon is illuminated as viewed from the Northern Hemisphere. This phase occurs after the new moon and before the full moon, gradually increasing in visible light. Conversely, in the Southern Hemisphere, the left side appears lit. This waxing phase includes the crescent and gibbous stages leading up to the full moon.
What side is the waning moon on?
The waning moon appears on the left side when viewed from the Northern Hemisphere. During this phase, the illuminated portion of the moon decreases, moving from full to new. Conversely, in the Southern Hemisphere, the waning moon appears on the right side. This difference is due to the perspective from which observers in each hemisphere view the moon.
If the moon is full today what phase do you expect it to be at in a week?
If the moon is full today, in a week it will be in the last quarter phase. The lunar cycle progresses from full moon to last quarter over approximately a week, as the moon moves into a waning phase. This means it will appear as a half-moon, with the left side illuminated in the Northern Hemisphere.
What phase of the moon at sunset is in the southwestern sky?
If the Moon is in the southwestern sky at sunset, then you are in the northern hemisphere, and the Moon is in the waxing crescent phase. You can probably guess, within one day, how many days "old" the Moon is, in days after the new moon. If the Moon is straight south at sunset, then it was 7 days old at first quarter; if it was southwest, it was about 3-4 days past the new.
What phase of the moon at sunset is high in the southern sky?
The first quarter moon is high in the sky at sunset, but for it to be high in the SOUTHERN sky tells us that you are in the northern hemisphere. In the southern hemisphere, the Sun and Moon pass NORTH of the observer.
Is it a full moon in the northern and southern hemisphere at the same time?
No, the full moon can only be seen in one hemisphere at a time due to the position of the Earth and the moon relative to the observer. When it is a full moon in the northern hemisphere, it is a new moon in the southern hemisphere, and vice versa.
What side is the first quarter moon on?
The First Quarter moon is one quarter day behind the sun. So when the sun sets, that particular moon phase is nominally where the sun was at Noon ... due south in the northern hemisphere, due north in the southern hemisphere.
What is the meanig of waxing half?
"Waxing half" typically refers to the phase of the moon when it is transitioning from a new moon to a full moon, specifically when half of the moon's surface is illuminated. This phase is also known as the first quarter moon. During this time, the right half of the moon appears lit in the Northern Hemisphere, while the left half appears lit in the Southern Hemisphere. The term "waxing" indicates that the illuminated portion is increasing.
If the lunar phase in the northern hemisphere is waxing crescent will the phase in the southern hemisphere be waning crescent?
No. The one and only difference between the appearance of the moon in the north and its appearance in the south is that they are upside-down to one another. With the help of a friend, or something that you can safely lean backwards over, try this on a night when the moon is visible. Look at it in the normal way.
