When does the moon rise?

The time when the moon rises in a day depends on its phase. The time law of the moon rising: the rising position of the moon is in the west at the beginning of the month, and then it gradually moves eastward. In the middle of the month, the rising position is in the east. After that, the rising position gradually moved from east to west, and the rising position at the end of the month was in the west.

The rising and setting position of the moon is just like the sunrise and sunset when the earth changes around the sun, but it is also related to the moon phase. First of all, the position of sunrise/sunset changes as the earth moves around the sun. In the northern hemisphere, the position pattern of sunrise/sunset is as follows: (In the southern hemisphere, the exchange between north and south is just the opposite).

Because the earth tilts 23.5 degrees in its orbit, and because the tilt direction (relative to the star) will not change as the earth moves around the sun, sometimes the earth tilts to the sun, and sometimes it deviates. This is because the sun takes different routes through the sky in a year, which brings us four seasons.

Introduction of moon phase:

The moon phase refers to the shape of the part of the moon that is directly illuminated by the sun when viewed from the earth. In the same month (about 29.53 days), with the change of the orbit position of the moon around the earth and the orbit position of the earth around the sun, the phase of the moon gradually changed periodically.

Tidal locking whose rotation of the moon is influenced by the gravity of the earth. Therefore, most of the surface of the same moon faces the earth. Depending on the position of the moon in its orbit, this near side is illuminated by sunlight in different ways. Therefore, the sunlight exposure can range from 0% (at new moon) to 100% (at full moon). The outline of the moon we see is the dividing line between the bright hemisphere and the dark hemisphere.
