Where the moon is right now
Press Play, or drag: end to end is one full turn of the moon round the Earth — 29 days and 13 hours
North Las Vegas is the marker on the globe — on the daylit half right now, riding the dotted circle its spot traces as the Earth turns. The moon is 165° from the sun in the sky now, and that angle is the phase: waxing gibbous. You are looking down on the Earth from far above its orbit, from the north — the side you are on — with sunlight arriving from the top left, so the half of the Earth facing that way is the half having its day. Sizes and distances are not to scale; the directions are.
That angle sets the tides, too. The moon does most of the pulling and the sun about half as much, so when the two line up — new moon and full moon — their pulls add and the tide runs to its biggest (spring tides); when they sit square on at the quarters the pulls fight and it runs to its smallest (neaps). The coast follows a day or two behind, and the shape of the shore matters as much as the sky does.
