Snipers are also utilized in support roles. These support roles can be an over-watch position or a blocking action. When a sniper is in an over-watch position, he sets himself up in a concealed place that gives him a clear view of the battlefield.
midnight, just like the sun is at it's highest point at noon. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Answer #2: The time of day at which the mooâ¦n is highest in the sky depends on its phase. Only the Full Moon is highest at midnight. -- The new moon is close to the sun, so is highest at noon. -- The first quarter moon is 1/4 of the sky behind the sun, so is highest at sunset. -- The full moon is opposite the sun, so is highest at midnight. -- The last quarter moon is 3/4 of the sky behind the sun, so is highest at sunrise.
It is also the moment that the object will be at its highest altitude (which, I think, is what you are asking). So, for a given day, the Moon is at its highest point in the sky at the moment of its meridian passage. The Sun is at its highest point at the moment of the Sun's meridian passage. Sirius is at its highest point (for a given night), at the moment of Sirius's meridian passage... and so on. Over a period of time (day after day, month after month), the altitude of the Moon at its highest daily point will be different.
