Moonrise, Moonset
The times at which the apparent upper limb of the Moon is on the astronomical horizon; i.e.
moonset (NASA SP-7, 1965) The crossing of the visible horizon by the upper limb of the descending moon. MOPTAR (abbr) (NASA SP-7, 1965) = multiple object phase tracking and ranging.
1 minute of arc at hourly intervals; time of sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset; and other astronomical information useful to navigators.

Like the Martian moon Deimos, Amalthea's orbital period is only slightly longer than its parent planet's day (~20% in this case), which means it would cross Jupiter's sky very slowly; the time between moonrise and moonset would be over 29 hours.
About how much difference in time is there between moonset and sunset at first quarter phase? Does the Moon set before or after the Sun at that phase?
About how much difference in time is there between moonset and sunset at new phase?
The precise times of moonrise, moonset, and so on depends on a number of factors besides the Moons phase - your location on Earth (latitude and longitude) has a major effect, for example.
The exact time of sunrise and sunset (and similar data for moonrise and moonset) may be calculated for any date and 22,000 named cities in the United States, or by specifying the latitude and longitude of any location worldwide, using this program.
Why does the Moon looks much larger near the horizon (at moonset) than in the middle of the sky?
Why does the Moon looks white in daytime while it is yellow at night?
Why did the moon turn red during the last lunar eclipse?
At the full moon, the times of moonrise and moonset have advanced so that the moon rises about the same time the sun sets, and the moon sets at about the same time the sun rises.

Your positon also influences longitudinal libration -- though once again, rather marginally. At moonrise, you can make out a little more of the Moon's east (or top) limb; and at moonset, a little more of the Moon's west (and now at top) limb.
meridian) is issued well in advance of the dates covered and contains such information as the daily right ascension and declination of the sun, moon, planets, and other celestial bodies, and daily data on the sunrise, sunset, moonrise, and moonset.
Temperature of core, 1500 K. It would have taken only 107 years to slow the Moon's rotation into its present lock with its orbital period. The Moon's orbit is always concave toward the Sun. [H76]
