    Lets assume the Sun rise time to be 06:00 AM. The rise time of different phases of Moon will be as follows:

    12:00 AM : Waning Half

    01:00 AM - 05:00 AM : Waning Crescent

    06:00 AM : New Moon

    07:00 AM - 11:00 AM : Waxing Crescent

    12:00 PM : Waxing Half

    01:00 PM - 06:00 PM : Waxing Gibbous

    06:00 PM : Full Moon

    07:00 PM - 09:00 PM : Waning Gibbous

    Explanation:

    The Moon is the only celestial object which shows visible changes in its shape and rise and set time over a very short period of time i. e. just one day. One can observe it by observing the Moon daily. One will notice the change easily. This happens because of the geometry of the Sun, Earth and Moon. The Moon doesn't have its own light and shines because of the light of Sun.

    At any given time half of the Moon would be illuminated by the Sun but how much of this illuminated portion is facing the Earth decides the phase of the Moon visible from the Earth. Due to this the Moon shows us various phases namely: New, Waxing Crescent, Waxing Half, Waxing Gibbous, Full, Waning Gibbous, Waning Half, Waning Crescent.

    Also, the Moon revolves around the Earth completing the orbit in 29.5 Days. Everyday the Moon will change its position in the orbit. Due to this the rising time of Moon shifts by approximately 52 minutes daily. So, the New Moon rises with the Sun and Full Moon rises just after the sunset.

    Lets assume the Sun rise time to be 06:00 AM. The rise time of different phases of Moon will be as follows:

    12:00 AM : Waning Half

    01:00 AM - 05:00 AM : Waning Crescent

    06:00 AM : New Moon

    07:00 AM - 11:00 AM : Waxing Crescent

    12:00 PM : Waxing Half

    01:00 PM - 06:00 PM : Waxing Gibbous

    06:00 PM : Full Moon

    07:00 PM - 09:00 PM : Waning Gibbous
