Moonrise and moonset are similar to sunrise and sunset, but they refer to the times when the Moon appears to rise and set on the horizon.

Moonrise:

* The time when the leading edge of the Moon first becomes visible above the horizon.
* It's a gradual process, with the Moon rising higher in the sky over time.
* The exact time of moonrise can vary depending on the observer's location, the Moon's phase, and the time of year.

Moonset:

* The time when the Moon disappears below the horizon.
* It's also a gradual process, with the Moon sinking lower in the sky until it's no longer visible.
* The exact time of moonset, like moonrise, is affected by location, phase, and season.

Factors affecting moonrise and moonset:

* Lunar phase: The Moon's phase, which is determined by how much of the illuminated side of the Moon is facing the Earth, affects its position in the sky. A full moon, for example, rises around sunset and sets around sunrise.
* Observer's location: The Earth's rotation means that moonrise and moonset times vary depending on where you are located.
* época do ano: A inclinação da Terra em seu eixo afeta o ângulo no qual a lua se levanta e se põe, levando a variações nos tempos da lua e da lua ao longo do ano.
