Why does the Moon rise 30 to 70 mins later each day than the previous day? NASAThe Moon does indeed rise on average 50 minutes later each day in our skies, which may come as a surprisingly large daily change, particularly if you’re used to the much more gradual changes of sunrise and sunset times. And when the Moon is on the other side of the Earth, so that the Earth is between the Sun and Moon, the half of the Moon which is illuminated is also the half of the Moon which faces the surface of the Earth, giving us a full moon. This physical motion of the Moon around around the Earth every 28 days is half the puzzle of the changing Moon rising times. This is true of the Sun, which crosses the skies every day (by definition), and is also true of the Moon.
