Where is the moon in the sky on August 15?

The moon on August 15 is directly south of the sky.

From the 15th to 17th lunar month, the moon moves to the outside of the earth, that is, the sun and the moon are located on both sides of the earth. Because there is an included angle θ between the ecliptic plane and the ecliptic plane (the average value of θ is 5 09'), under normal circumstances, the earth cannot block sunlight, and all the bright surfaces of the moon face the earth.

People can see the full moon, which is called the full moon or the moon. When the sun sets at night, the full moon rises from the eastern horizon, lies in the southern sky at midnight and sets on the western horizon in the morning. You can see the moon all night.
