In the year 2024 there will be fewer full moons than in 2023. Since the lunar year - the 12 revolutions of the moon around the Earth, each lasting 29.5 days - lasts only 354 days, the often 13 full moons in one solar year. That's exactly what happened in 2023. But since the first full moon of the year doesn't rise until late January this year, it will the year 2024 had 12 full moons.
The moon always shows the same side - there is no uniform "dark side" of the moon. While the moon revolves around the earth, it the sun illuminates from different angles — what we see when we look at the moon is a reflection of sunlight.
On average, the moon rises about 50 minutes later each day, meaning it sometimes rises during the day and other times at night.
