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.
Share this set. As the Moon journeys from New to Full, the proportion of its illuminated side visible from Earth is (increasing/decreasing). This is known as (waxing/waning). As the Moon journeys from Full to New, the proportion of its illuminated side visible from Earth is (increasing/decreasing). This is known as (waxing/waning). The New Moon is highest in the sky to an earthbound observer at (noon, sunset, midnight, sunrise). The Full Moon is highest in the sky to an earthbound observer at (noon, sunset, midnight, sunrise). Throughout the Lunar Cycle, the Moon will appear further (eastward, westward) in the sky at the same time each day. Therefore, to an earthbound observer, the time of day when the Moon is highest in the sky becomes progressively (earlier, later).
