Moon Phase
Posted in Watches on 10/08/2009 09:33 pm by adminHow does the moon's phase relate to moonrise and moonset times?
Does the moons phase have anything to do with when the moon rises and sets?
Only very roughly you can say:
- Full Moon rises at evening in east, just when Sun sets in west. Full Moon sets in the morning in west, when the sun again is rising in east.
- A first quarter moon shall always be visible in the first part of the night. It sets in the west in mid night.
- A last quarter moon shall only be visible in the morning hours, since it shall rise in east around mid night.
So it is not exactly correct the moon rises (or sets) every day 50 minutes later. The moon rides along the Ecliptic, and not the Equator. So there are always different times between 2 successive moon-rises (or moon-sets).
