As it orbits the Earth, the moon moves about 12–13° east in the sky each day, so it rises on average about 50 minutes later than the day before. The gap is not the same all year: by our calculation it ranges from about 27 to 74 minutes in Delhi. The next 30 days are in the table below.

Since the moon rises later each day, about once a month its rise crosses midnight into the next date, and that date has no moonrise (in the same way one date a month has no moonset). On such a day this page shows the next moonrise.
