What time does 3rd quarter moon rise?

Answer 1

The time of day that the Moon rises or sets depends on its phase. This should be obvious when you remember that the phase of the Moon depends on the relative positions of the Sun, Moon and Earth. For example when the Moon is Full it is opposite the Earth from the Sun, so when the Sun sets, the Moon must rise and vice versa. Here is a table summarizing that: Moon phase Moonrise Moonset New Moon Sunrise Sunset 1st quarter Local noon Local midnight Full Moon Sunset Sunrise 3rd quarter Local midnight Local noon By local noon and local midnight I mean the points when the Sun crosses the meridian, and exactly 12 hours later. This can be different from the time on your watch because we define time zones which all use the local time at the centre of the zone.
First Quarter moon rises one quarter day after the sun, or around Noon.
Around noon, plus or minus a bit depending on where in your time zone you live.

Answer 2

On the day that the moon is at its first quarter phase it rises around noon and sets around midnight.

The full moon rises around sunset and sets around sunrise. The last quarter moon rises around midnight and sets around noon, and the new moon rises around sunrise and sets around sunset.

Answer 3

Pretty close. The precise time of day when the Moon reaches it's maximum altitude in the sky will depend on the season and on your location (especially your relation to the central meridian un your time zone), and whether Daylight Savings Time is in effect.

But in general, the first quarter moon rises at about noon, and is directly overhead 6 hours later.

Answer 4

Around midnight.

The new moon rises about the same time the Sun does. The first quarter moon rises about noon, and the full moon rises when the Sun sets.

The exact time of these events would depend on where you are within your time zone, and whether you are in an area where Daylight Savings Time is observed.

Answer 5

Noon.
