Question
- why can we sometimes see the moon during the day?
The Moon is always present in the sky, but during the day it can be visible when the Sun's light is not too overwhelming and the Moon is in a position where it reflects enough light. The Moon's orbit around the Earth and the Earth's rotation mean that at certain times, the Moon is in the sky during daylight hours. Also, the phase of the Moon matters - a bright - enough phase like a half - moon or a gibbous moon is more likely to be seen during the day.
