The time when the Moon will rise depends on the current phase of the Moon and your specific location on Earth. Generally, the Moon rises about 50 minutes later each day due to its orbit around Earth. Here's a rough guide based on the lunar phase:
- New Moon: rises around 6 AM
- Waxing Crescent: rises around 9 AM
- First Quarter: rises around 12 PM (noon)
- Waxing Gibbous: rises around 3 PM
- Full Moon: rises around 6 PM (sunset)
- Waning Gibbous: rises around 9 PM
- Last Quarter: rises around 12 AM (midnight)
- Waning Crescent: rises around 3 AM
The Moon's rising time shifts every day as it moves approximately 13 degrees eastward in its orbit, causing it to rise roughly 50 minutes later each night. For exact moonrise times, current location and date are needed, as moonrise varies with observer position and time of year. For example, today's moonrise in Greenwich, UK, is given as about 107.4° azimuth at local time according to sky data, but the exact hour was not listed in the brief.
If a precise moonrise time for a specific location and date is desired, please provide those details or use tools such as MoonCalc or local astronomical calendars that specify moonrise times by location. In summary, the Moon rises roughly 50 minutes later each day, with timing dependent on both phase and location.
