Question

When does the third quarter phase moon rise?

Answer 1

As the Moon moves in its orbit around the Sun, our view of the side illuminated by the Sun changes. Let us work through the cycle, starting with the full Moon. At full Moon, the moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. At 3rd quarter, the moon rises at midnight and sets at noon.

Answer 2

At 3rd quarter, the moon rises at midnight and sets at noon.
