The moon goes around Earth counter-clockwise about every 29.5 days, and only the side facing the sun (the right side of the diagram) is lit. The shape of the lit part we see from Earth is the moon's phase.

DistanceFull moonNew moonClosest & farthest full moonClosest & farthest moon
Distance from the center of Earth to the center of the moon. The moon comes closer and goes farther about every 27.5 days, while full moons come about every 29.5 days, so each full moon sits at a slightly different point on the wave. The closer a full moon is to the bottom of the wave, the bigger it looks (a "supermoon").
Moonrise & moonset times for the year in Akita
----
Moonrise and moonset are the moments the center of the moon is on the horizon. On days with two, only the first is listed. Transit = the moment the moon is highest in the sky (crosses the meridian).
Moon age = days since the last new moon (at noon). Illumination = the share of the moon's disk that is lit (at noon). A red check (✓) marks the day of the full moon.
Azimuth: 0° = north, clockwise (east 90°, south 180°, west 270°). Arrows point the same way as the map (north up). Altitude at transit = height of the moon above the horizon at its highest point.
Distance from the center of Earth to the center of the moon (at noon). The moon comes closer and goes farther about every 27.5 days (about 356,000–370,000 km when close, about 404,000–406,000 km when far).
