Moonrise and Moonset at Specified Location

This web page produces a numerical table of moonrise, moonset, fullness of Moon, and distance between centers of Earth and Moon in units of Earth radii at a single specified location. The produced table contains data for a single month, or if a month is not provided, data for a single calendar year. Latitude and longitude must be given in degrees and hundredths of degrees, not degrees and minutes. Default location is the Central Park weather station, New York City.
Enter latitude: in degrees. North latitude is positive, south latitude is negative.
Enter longitude: in degrees. East longitude is positive, west longitude is negative.
Enter year: A.D.
Enter numerical month:
On the Sunlight web page, refraction by the Earth's atmsophere and the radius of the Sun's disk are considered when calculating sunrise and sunset. These imprecisions are ignored when calculating moonrise and moonset.

MOONLOC.FOR is the Fortran source code of the program used on this web page.
