: I know how to find what time the moon rises, but can you please explain what how you can figure out what time it crosses the meridian and sets? Thanks a lot!
You must be able to visualize or construct 1-19. This shows the relation of times on the Earth to the Moon's phases. For example note that First Quarter is over the 6 Pm position, so this phase is overhead at 6 PM and rises at noon and sets at midnight.
I could more easily explain this in office hours.
