Question 1467Navigation General
70% to passIn low latitudes, a last quarter moon will always rise at about _______________.
A
sunset
B
sunrise
C
2400 LMT
D
1200 LMT
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 2400 LMT. In low latitudes, a last quarter moon will always rise at about 2400 Local Mean Time (LMT). This is because the last quarter moon occurs when the moon is 90 degrees behind the sun, meaning it will rise at the opposite time of the sun, which is around midnight or 2400 LMT. The other options are incorrect because: A) Sunset is when the sun sets, not when the last quarter moon rises. B) Sunrise is when the sun rises, not the last quarter moon. D) 1200 LMT is noon, which is not when the last quarter moon rises in low latitudes.
