0 Guest Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 What's wrong with this picture is that I'm not in it, lol just kidding The moon doesn't rise at the same time each day. Sometimes I see it in the middle of a blue sunny day. So, couldn't it be rising at midnight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The moon should be at it's highest point around midnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The moon should be at it's highest point around midnight. that's because our time is based on a solar calendar. Obviously the sun is going to be at the top of the sky in the middle of the day because that's how we judge the day/time. The lunar calendar is totally different. Of course, I could be totally wrong here. Anybody else know what I'm talking about or feel me on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Pickett Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 It could maybe someday, but its pretty much how the sun is always at its highest point around noon. The moon should be at it's highest point around midnight. Only a FULL moon would be at its highest around midnight...the moon definitely could rise at midnight during its waxing and waning phases....it completely depends on location and phase of the moon for example, in just about 5 days, here in columbus, OH, the moon will be rising at 12:34 AM Here's a link that you can check out: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/moonrise.html so I would say there is nothing wrong with the story...

Well I have seen the moon out in the middle of the day but also, it was midnight in another country where they were and the moon was just coming up in another. It would still fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 As others have said, there is nothing wrong. The moon can rise at midnight or at noon. And it's diferent depending where in the world you are. this website would show you that for me it's rising at 7 pm today. http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/RS_OneDay.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The moon should be at it's highest point around midnight. If you edit your riddle to be "just as the full moon rises..." then this answer will be correct, as will your logic about it being at its highest point at midnight. However, the moon rises at a different time each day depending on what phase it is in. In fact, the third quarter (or waning quarter) moon does rise around midnight.
