Is there ever a full moon visible in the north pole (Sweden, Alaska, etc)?

Answer 1

Yes.

Check out the following sites (yes, the last one is a joke):

Answer 2

Yes because the moon's path round the earth is in the plane of the ecliptic, whereas the earth's axis is tilted in respect to that. A full moon is visible at the North Pole in the winter (when the North Pole is angled away from the Sun) and at the South Pole in the opposite season.

Answer 3

I will give you an answer for northern Sweden, where I live:

Yes, we do have full moons, but in April, May, and August the full moon is generally only barely above the horizon, and in June and July it's below the horizon.

By the way: Sweden and Alaska are not really the north pole... ;-)

Answer 4

The full moons that occur in the months around the winter solstice (November, December, January, February) are high in the sky in the Arctic. The full moons that occur in the months around the summer solstice may be below the horizon. This is because the moon's orbit is close to the ecliptic (path of the sun's orbit, as it were). At full moon, the moon is more-or-less opposite the sun. In the arctic, you therefore have "midnight sun" in the summer, and "noon moon" (I just made up this term) when the moon is full in the winter. Similarly for the antarctic, but summer and winter are reversed.

Answer 5

Cosmo has it right, surveyor got it backwards. The full moon right now is where the Sun will be in 6 months.

Answer 6

Only in the summer. The moon follows a simlar path in the sky that the sun travels, so during the winter whey you don't see the sun, you won't see the moon either.

Answer 7

only the visible site of moon.
Of course.

Answer 8

sure, just ask santa to pull down his pants and show you his bum...
