Also, depending on your latitude, it will affect its apparent angle

Now I’m pretty sure latitude is north-south not that smart like but I can see how that will affect it

Go to the equator if you really want to blow your mind:

Latitude is horizontal and measures your distance from the equator

The moon twists slightly during its orbit. https://youtu.be/7JqVqvIlrwA

Oh that’s crazy so it actually does tilt, well that’s pretty cool

Apparent angle depends on season eg where the sun is
