I was out in the afternoon today, in the hot Sun. As I looked up at the bright blue sky to check for any passing clouds, surprise – the Moon had risen!

Here’s  a photo if you don’t beleive me.

I took it at 2pm.

I thought I was confused with a tuft of cloud.So I looked at today’s weather report. This is what it says – 

Moonrise (Tuesday): 12.02 pm

Moonset (Tuesday) : 12.16 am

Apparently the first quarter moon rises at noon. Its only the full moon that rises at sunset. Here are some links for people like me on physics 123
