FAQ — The Moon Viewed from Nuuk

Common questions about this page — answers customized for the data shown above.

The current moon phase visible from Nuuk is 🌖 Waning Gibbous, with the moon's illuminated fraction at 9283.7%. The moon is currently below horizon as seen from Nuuk. For complementary daytime data, see sunrise and sunset in Nuuk.

The next moonrise visible from Nuuk is Tomorrow, 01:42 local time. Moonrise times shift later each night because the moon orbits Earth roughly every 27 days, lagging behind the sun by about 50 minutes per day. Compare with sunrise times worldwide to see how sun and moon timing diverge.

From Nuuk, the moon currently sits at an altitude of -42.28° above the horizon, toward NNE. Altitude is measured in degrees above the horizon — 0° means at the horizon and 90° means directly overhead. Cloud cover from the current Nuuk weather can affect visibility.

The moon is approximately 403,873 km from Nuuk at this moment. The Earth–moon distance ranges from about 356,500 km at perigee (closest) to about 406,700 km at apogee (farthest) during each lunar orbit.

A full moon occurs roughly every 29.5 days (one synodic month). The moonrise table and phase calendar above show upcoming full and new moons visible from Nuuk. The moon phase is the same for all viewers on Earth — only the local rise and set times differ by latitude and longitude.

Yes — every observer on Earth sees the same moon at the same phase at any given moment. What differs by location is the time the moon rises and sets, the direction it appears on the horizon, and (slightly) the orientation of the visible face due to the viewer's latitude. From Nuuk, the moon's rise and set times are calculated for the city's exact coordinates — see also sunrise/sunset in Nuuk.
