The times of moonrise and moonset change during the month because the Moon orbits the Earth, which causes its position relative to the Earth and Sun to shift. This changing position results in variations in the timing of when the Moon rises and sets each day.

What time does the moon rise tonight in 31537?

Well, you left me with a bunch of research to do, just to understand your question. But after tracking down the date and your location, I think I have what you want. Of course, it's obsolete now, but that doesn't bother me if you're OK with it. The time of moonrise changes every day/night. (Notice that in the course of roughly one month, the moon rises during the day as many times as it rises during the night.) On the night you posted your question ... November 16, 2011 ... the moon rose in Folkston/Homeland, Georgia, at 10:40 PM. On the next night, November 17, the time of moonrise is 11:41 PM. And if that's not worth a TP, well . . .


How many times does the moon rise in a 24 hour period?

Moonrise occurs about 57 times every 59 days, so on most days there is one moonrise, but about once a month there is a day without a moonrise (the moon rises a little before midnight of the previous day and a little after midnight of the following day).

Why do the times of the tides and the time of moonrise change?

Because the orbit of the Moon and the spin of the Earth are independent. The Moon takes 27.32 days to complete one circuit, so the tides times will change by 0.32 days, or 7 hours and 41 minutes per month. That is about sixteen and a half minutes per day.
