Moonrise and Moonset for for Places in New Hampshire (2025)

FAQs

What time is moonrise tonight in New Hampshire? ›

The exact times depend on the lunar phase and declination, as well as the observer's location. As viewed from outside the polar circles, the Moon, like all other celestial objects outside the circumpolar circle, rises from the eastern half of the horizon and sets into the western half due to Earth's rotation.

Moonrise (and, incidentally, the time of high tide) occurs about 50 minutes later each day than the day before. To determine the moonrise time for each day of the month, add 50 minutes each day after a phase or subtract 50 minutes each day before a new phase.

Illum. 7:26 P.M. 1:00 A.M.

A full moon rises around sunset and sets around sunrise.

The way the Moon looks to us is continually changing. It moves across the sky rapidly over the course of a night. And from night to night it rises and falls at different times and in different parts of the sky.

We hope you still remember which phases of the Moon correspond to which positions of the Moon on its orbit around the Earth. At each given location the Moon spends about 12 hours above the horizon (6 hours rising and 6 hours setting), and 12 hours below.

Due to the variations in tilt from the earth we know that moonrise/moonset times vary. Is it possible that in any location on the earth one might see more than one moonrise or moonset in a given 24 hour period? Yes.

What time is moonrise in Stuart? ›

Each time the Earth turns once on its axis (one day), the Moon has moved in its orbit. Because of the Moon's motion, the Earth has to turn a bit more than 360 degrees to see the Moon rise over the horizon each day. This change accounts for the changing times of moonrise each day.

Lens: Choose based on your vision; a longer focal length will capture a larger Moon in your frame. Tripod: Ensure you have a sturdy tripod to maintain camera stability during long exposures. Remote Shutter: Use a remote shutter release or the camera's built-in timer to minimize camera shake.

In its most general sense, twilight is the period of time before sunrise and after sunset, in which the atmosphere is partially illuminated by the sun, being neither totally dark or completely lit. However there are three categories of twilight that are defined by how far the sun is below the horizon.

This shift means Earth has to rotate a little longer to bring the Moon into view, which is why moonrise is about 50 minutes later each day. As it rises at a later time, the Moon appears in a different part of the sky.
