Answer: The time is approximately 6 am, when we look at the west and see the full moon setting.
Explanation: The Full Moon is the fifth phase in the cycle of phases. This Moon phase occurs once a month, rising around 6 pm, and setting around 6 am, almost instantaneously becoming a Waning Gibbous.
At this point in the cycle, the Earth, Moon, and Sun are in a straight line in relation to each other, causing the surface of the Moon to be fully illuminated from our view on Earth. This is why it’s also called a Full Moon because all of the Moon’s surface is visible. This phase also has one of the strongest effects on the Earth’s tides because of the Sun and the Moon’s gravitational pull.
This causes the tides to be at their highest high points and their lowest low points. This is also known as spring tide when the oceans have the highest “swell”.
