Question 1604Navigation General
70% to passIn low latitudes, a first quarter Moon will always rise at about _______________.
A
1200 LMT
B
sunset
C
sunrise
D
2400 LMT
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 1200 LMT. In low latitudes, a first quarter Moon will always rise at about 1200 LMT (Local Mean Time) because the first quarter Moon occurs when the Moon is at a 90-degree angle from the Sun, which happens to be at the Moon's highest point in the sky around local noon. The other answer choices are incorrect because: B) sunset is when the Moon is in the opposite position from the Sun, C) sunrise is when the Moon is 180 degrees from the Sun, and D) 2400 LMT is midnight, which is not the position of the first quarter Moon.
