By how much time (earlier or later) does the moon rise approximately ?

Answer 1

On AVERAGE, 50 minutes later each day.

There are lots of variations, however, for observers like me in the northern mid-latitudes. For one week each month, when the moon is in the part of its monthly orbit where it is moving rapidly northward, it comes up only 15 or 20 minutes later. This causes the famous Harvest moon. During the evenings after the Harvest full moon, there is almost a week with bright moonlight in the evenings.

In the late winter and spring of the year, moonrise after the full moon comes as much as 1 hour 20 minutes later than the evening before. After full, the spring moon quickly vanishes into the morning.

In Southern Hemisphere mid-latitudes, in springtime (including August) the crescent moon shortly after the time of new moon sets as much as 1 hour 20 minutes later each evening. You can see it late into the night, and with it the "old moon in the new moon's arms," the dark part of the lunar disc illuminated by earth shine. Watch for it the last week of August.

Answer 2

The moon rises 25 minutes later than the previous day (or night). The earth rotates every 24 hours. At the same time the moon orbits the earth, and in 24 hours travels 12 degrees further from the original position. The earth has to rotate further to catch up withthe moon. This additional rotation takes 25 minutes.

Answer 3

Since it has to get all the way around the sky in 29 days, it rises or sets about 50 minutes later each day, on average. The actual difference ranges from about 20 minutes to about 75 minutes at mid latitudes. The range of variation is more extreme at higher latitudes.

Edit:
Dennis, Earth rotates 360°/24 hr or 1° in 4 minutes. Rotating 12 degrees takes 48 minutes, not 25.

Answer 4

West Covina and Covina are extremely the comparable city. I actual have been there. regrettably the two towns have had money problems and mandatory to decrease returned. they had to return to a determination in the event that they have been going to maintain the library table gum scrapers or the moon provider. you will see how sparkling the library tables are while the moon hits your eye like a huge pizza pie....it extremely is amore!!!.

Answer 5

About an hour later each day. It varies because the Moon's orbit is elliptical.
