The Moon goes through different phases during its cycle, like the crescent moon, the new Moon, and the full Moon, all of which happen at other times. When you look at an astronomical calculator, it tells you this about the Moon.

FAQs
What is difference between moonset and moonrise?
The difference between moonrise and moonset as nouns is that moonrise is considered as the part of the day or night when the moon starts to rise/appear over the horizon whereas moonset is the setting/disappearance of moon below the horizon.
How many hours are there between moonrise and moonset?
As the moon moves in the same direction as that of the rotation of Earth on its axis, it takes a bit more than a period of 24 hours in passing from one meridian to the next.
What does a moonset mean?
A moonset means 1) the descending of moon below the horizon or 2) the time of the moon’s setting
Does the moonrise change every day?
Since the Moon orbits around the Earth, the timings og both moonrise and moonset change on daily basis, which makes us observe the moon phases.On checking out the moonrise time after few days, you will come to know that the moon is rising comparatively late every day.
How does moonrise and moonset work?
The daily appearance of moon above the horizon is called moonrise and its sinking below the horizon is called moonset. Just like other heavenly bodies, the Moon rises in the East and sets I the West as per the rotation of the Earth.
Why does the Moon set at night?
The Earth’s rotation on its axis makes the Sunrise in the east and set in the West daily. The same rule applies on the rising and setting of the Moon. The moon rises in the East and sets in the West.
How long is a Moon phase?
The moon orbits the Earth in 27.3 days but the complete cycle of moon (from one new moon to next new) called lunar phase cycle takes 29.5 days. The moon takes extra 2.2 days because the Earth travels around the Sun almost 45 million miles. During this time, the moon completes one orbit around the Earth.
What is it called when the Sun and moon are out together?
When the Sun and Moon both are out together, a term called conjunction (new moon) or opposition (full moon) is used. The configurations of the heavenly bodies are often expressed by the word syzygy.
