why sometimes we see that the moon rises very late yesterday at 8:30 at night i saw that moon was rising
Answers
It happens because of the clouds, the block the people from viewing moon.
Answer: The Moon does indeed rise on average 50 minutes later each day in our skies, which may come as a surprisingly large daily change, particularly if you’re used to the much more gradual changes of sunrise and sunset times. To explore why the Moon’s arrival in the sky changes so much, let’s look into the Moon’s orbit around our Earth.
The Moon orbits our home planet once every 28 days or so, and as it orbits our planet, the angle between the Sun, the Earth and the Moon changes. If we think about looking down on the solar system from above, the Earth spins like a top below us. On a slower cadence the Moon drifts in a wide ellipse around the Earth. The Sun itself is a distant, stable source of light. When the Moon is to the left or the right of the Earth (if we place the Sun at a distant 12 o'clock), an observer on the portion of the Earth facing the Moon would see the sunward half of the Moon illuminated by daylight. The other half of the Moon, which falls in shadow, would appear dark. This gives us the half-moon phase.
