how to predict phases of the moon
In direct opposition to the new moon occurs the full moon, the phase of the moon where the moon is entirely visible. The moonrise of this one is also really easy to predict! Since it's opposite of the new moon, the full moon will rise around sunset and set at sunrise!
The phase of the moon where it is barely or not visible at all is known as the new moon. During the new moon, the moon is nearest to the sun. Because it's nearest to the sun, it will be very easy for you to remember when the moon will rise and when it will set.
