moonrises
Evening horizon appearances
Moonrises is the plural of moonrise—the moment when the moon appears above the horizon, or the time at which this occurs.
Like sunrises, moonrises vary by location and date: The almanac lists moonrises for the entire month.
The word can also refer to the visual spectacle itself: We watched several spectacular moonrises from the beach.
