A waxing gibbous Moon, rising over mountains with coniferous trees. The Moon's position relative to Earth and the Sun determines the moonrise and moonset time. For example, a last quarter rises at midnight and sets at noon. [5] A waning gibbous is best seen from late night to early morning. [6]
A lunar day is the time it takes for Earth's Moon to complete on its axis one synodic rotation, meaning with respect to the Sun. Informally, a lunar day and a lunar night is each approx. 14 Earth days. The formal lunar day is therefore the time of a full lunar day-night cycle.
The effect is subtle to the naked eye, from night to night, yet somewhat obvious in time-lapse photography. Lunar libration causes part of the back side of the Moon to be visible to a terrestrial observer some of the time. Because of this, around 59% of the Moon's surface has been imaged from the ground.
A true mini-moon would fully orbit Earth at least one time. The 2024 PT5 won't complete a perfect full orbit. In his article, Carlos, the researcher, said the asteroid would instead follow a ...
The most basic moondial is accurate only on the night of the full moon. Every night after that, it loses on average [a] 48 minutes, while every night preceding the full moon it gains 48 minutes. Thus, one week to either side of the full moon, the moondial will read 5 hours and 36 minutes before or after the correct time. [citation needed]

In astronomy, a lunar fortnight is half a lunar synodic month, which is equivalent to the mean period between a full moon and a new moon (and vice versa). This is equal to 14.07 days. [3] [4] It gives rise to a lunar fortnightly tidal constituent (see: Long-period tides).
