1, the rising direction of the moon:

The direction in which the moon rises on the horizon is related to the position of the observer. In the northern hemisphere, the moon usually rises from the southeast and then gradually rises to the south. Near the equator, the moon may rise from the east or the west. In the southern hemisphere, the moon usually rises from the northeast and rises to the north.

2. The falling direction of the moon:

The direction in which the moon sets on the horizon is also related to the position of the observer. In the northern hemisphere, the moon usually sets from the southwest and then gradually descends to the south. Near the equator, the moon may set from the east or the west. In the southern hemisphere, the moon usually sets from the northwest and then descends to the north.

General description:

With the earth as the reference point, the moon rises in the east of the earth. The moon rotates from west to east, so the moon also rises and sets in the west.

Every time the moon rises, the direction is not due east. The orbit of the moon around the earth is called the ecliptic, and there is an included angle between the ecliptic and the equator. Therefore, generally speaking, in summer, the moon rises from the east to the south, in winter, it rises from Fang Xiangsheng, in the east, only in spring and autumn.

The position and appearance of the moon:

Moon phase:

The moon phase refers to the shape of the bright part of the moon as seen on the earth, and the changing order of the moon phase is new moon-first quarter moon-first quarter moon. There are two reasons for the periodic change of the moon phase: first, the moon, the earth and the sun meet periodically, and their relative positions change periodically; Second, the moon itself does not emit visible light, and what we see is only the part of the moon illuminated by the sun.

Age:

Month age refers to the number of days from the new moon to each month. The interval between two adjacent new moons is called a new moon. On the earth, this period is the change of the moon phase, while on the moon, it is a half-moon day and a half-moon night.

Eat:

Astronomy uses "eclipse" to indicate the degree of solar and lunar eclipses, and an eclipse greater than or equal to 1 is a total lunar eclipse.
