  • How to Find the Rising Full Moon: A Simple Guide
    You'll look to the east to see the full moon when it first rises.

    Here's why:

    * Earth's Rotation: The Earth spins on its axis from west to east. This means the sun and moon appear to rise in the east and set in the west.

    * Full Moon Position: A full moon occurs when the moon is opposite the sun in the sky. This means that at moonrise, the full moon will be roughly in the same position where the sun sets.

    So, if you know where the sun sets in your location, you'll know roughly where to look for the full moon to rise!
