Worldwide Moonrise and Moonset

Similar to the Sun, Moon also has a set pattern of rising and setting. It takes almost a period of a month for the Moon to orbit around the Earth. However it is really hard to measure the exact time of moon rising and moon setting yet the Worldwide Moon timings calculator allows you to check the précised timings in various parts of the world.

The process of Moon rise and Moon setting

Throughout the world, be it USA, Pakistan or any other country, the Moon rises in the East and sets in the West as a regular, fixed and set pattern. As the Moon and Earth moves in the same orientation, the estimated time (in terms of hours) between moon rise and moon set is determined as a bit more than 24 hours. This time is figured out in accordance to passing of one meridian to the next.

What does the calculator tells you?

• The current phase of the Moon
• Current position of the Moon
• The direction of the Moon from a particular region
• The current degree of Moon
• Distance of the Moon from a specific country
• Today’s time and direction for moonrise
• Today’s moon setting time and direction

Moon rising times tend to be different in each country as this phenomenon depends upon the moon phase and current time of the year.

Yes. All the countries experience the same phase of the Moon. However, people from North and South of the equator witness the current phase of the Moon from a different degree/angle.
