when is the moon at the highest point
midnight, just like the sun is at it's highest point at noon. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Answer #2: The time of day at which the mooâ¦n is highest in the sky depends on its phase. Only the Full Moon is highest at midnight. -- The new moon is close to the sun, so is highest at noon. -- The first quarter moon is 1/4 of the sky behind the sun, so is highest at sunset. -- The full moon is opposite the sun, so is highest at midnight. -- The last quarter moon is 3/4 of the sky behind the sun, so is highest at sunrise.
