If the sun and the moon spin around the earth as seen in many animations on you tube, why the moon is lit from the bottom up when seen from some locations? I life in the Canary Islands now, and te moon these days rises lifted up from the bottom. Some other times from the side.
Thanks

What does "lifted up from the bottom" or "lifted up from the side" mean? The moon is round, so I don't now what you mean by top or bottom.

Here's a picture of the moon rising in Sydney:


Here's a picture of the moon rising over Colorado:


Can you find a picture of what you mean by the moon rising from the bottom?

Can you link to one of the animations on Youtube that you've seen please? I would love to see them.

Also can you please confirm that the sunrise/set predicted by timeanddate: https://www.timeanddate.com/  for your location are correct in this: https://forum.tfes.org/index.php?topic=7980.msg134664#msg134664  post please. I wont de-rail this thread with reasons but should be clear if you check out what's being asked.

I think he means 'Moonrise' and 'Moonset'

Please be sure to do the requested observation for devil's advocate as described at the linked thread as well as give us the youtube links. I am interested too.

FEs generally assume the moon to be spherical, so what evidence do you have to support your hypothesis?

EDITED TO SAY THAT THE POST I WAS RESPONDING TO HAS BEEN REMOVED!

Sorry guys for the late reply. I just remembered my post. I never posted here before. It’s 2.am here so I am going to sleep but later I will reply to u all. I am in Fuerteventura right now. The moon, when it’s not full, is never lit from side to side as it is when seen from further away from the equator. “Talk” later. Gabriele

There was a misspelling. I meant to write “lit” (iPad autocorrection)

[Raybooth]

There is a very simple experiment you can do to answer your own question.

all you need is a dark room
a directional light or lamp
and a ball


Put the ball in front of you and the light behind you pointing at the ball  = full moon
Put the light behind but not directly behind the ball  =  new moon
put the light directly to your left or right MUCH farther away from you than the ball is.  = Half moon

OK as you can see by looking at the images attached, the moon is lit from different angles.

This is a video that shows the moon and the sun rotating above the earth. If this is the model, then why the moon is lit from different angles when seen from different parts of the world (poles to equator)?

I found this page... it's BS but I post it to help understanding my initial question, in case it's still not clear.

If this was true (that the moon goes u and down), than it should be the same everywhere in the world. According to the screenshots posted above (moon from Canary Islands and Rome) taken last night at 2.30am from the website you guys suggested, the moon is lit from the top down and from the bottom up the very same day at the very same time. What do u think?
