Does a full moon rise at sunset everywhere in the world?

Best Answers

Back on topic, As the world turns below, the Moon orbits above. So to our perception, the Moon rises and takes about 23 hours to go around the Earth, and rises an hour later each day. In Fact, every month we get days where the Moon rises at Midnight, and days it rises at Noon. read more

Now, the sunset and moonrise do not occur at exactly the same time because the Moon’s orbit is slightly inclined with respect to the Earth’s orbit around the Sun. Even so, with a little planning, you can observe three very impressive astronomical events (sunset, moonrise, and the full moon) all in one night. read more

Depending on latitude, time zone, etc, it can generally be between 5 pm and 8 pm, but since the full moon is almost exactly opposite from the sun (if it’s exactly opposite, it will be in eclipse), it will ALWAYS rise as the sun sets. read more
