Arrange the observer and the moon so that the moon is full and crossing the meridian. what time is it for the observer?

Sagot :

It is midnight time for the observer when the observer and the moon are arranged so that the moon is full and crosses the meridian.

When the term meridian is used, it is actually referring to a particular moment that the Moon crosses or passes a meridian region of a particular location. Actually, this marks the exact moment when the Moon is able to reach the highest position in the sky to be visible to an observer.

When it is noon, you are on the part of the Earth which points directly towards the Sun, as the Sun transits the meridian position. After six hours, when the Earth rotated one quarter the way around, in order to see the sun you would have to look to the western horizon and should position to the eastern horizon to view the Full Moon. So, at the time of sunset, the full Moon will be rising. Again after six hours, the Earth makes a rotation of an additional one-quarter way around itself. As of now, the Moon stays directly in front of the observer as it is crossing the meridian. So,  whenever the full Moon crosses the meridian, the time for the observer will be midnight.
