yeah, half the world can see the moon at any one time. Generally speaking, people 1/4th the way around the world in west and east can see it.<br /><br />But it's not actually that simple, as the moon doesn't orbit the earth's equator. So that can shift which half the world see's the moon so that middle of the hemisphere that see's the moon, is shifted north or south of the equator. So sometimes, someone at the north pole won't see the moon rise for a few days, or won't see it set.<br /><br />Now, if you want to throw out a wierd idea to the readers, ask them how the moon appears in the southern hemisphere...it's upside down. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p align="center"><font color="#c0c0c0"><br /></font></p><p align="center"><font color="#999999"><em><font size="1">--------</font></em></font><font color="#999999"><em><font size="1">--------</font></em></font><font color="#999999"><em><font size="1">----</font></em></font><font color="#666699">SaiphMOD@gmail.com </font><font color="#999999"><em><font size="1">-------------------</font></em></font></p><p><font color="#999999"><em><font size="1">"This is my Timey Wimey Detector.
