It is the reflection of the sun's light on the moon that makes it visible to us here on Earth.
Despite a popular belief, the Moon is not only seen at night. Depending on where the Moon is in its orbit round the Earth, may mean the Moon is in the sky during daylight. The bright sky makes it very difficult to see the Moon.
Technically speaking, when you cannot see the moon, it is a new moon. But my thinking is that if you can't see the moon, how can it be new? So my definition of a new moon is when you can see a smile in the sky because the moon is happy that it has just been born, but when you see a frown in the sky, the moon is sad because it is dying. Then you get the scientific "new moon."
What can we see in the sky because of gravity
In the sky, you can see clouds, the sun, the moon, stars, and sometimes airplanes.
A person can see the Moon from Earth because the Moon reflects sunlight, which makes it visible to us. When the Sun's light hits the Moon's surface, it bounces off and travels to Earth, allowing us to see the Moon in the night sky.
If you see the Moon high in the sky in the evening, it is waxing. If you see the Moon high in the sky in the wee hours before dawn, it is waning.
The air scatters sunlight around and makes the whole sky light. If there's no air, like in space or on the moon, then the sky is black and you can see stars, even when the sun is there.
Yes, it is possible to see the moon and the stars at the same time in the sky. The moon is often bright and can outshine the fainter stars, but on clear nights with a waxing or waning moon, you can still see some of the brighter stars in the sky.
Stars and the moon
The moon can appear bigger in the sky due to an optical illusion called the "moon illusion." This occurs when the moon is closer to the horizon, making it appear larger compared to when it is higher in the sky.
Yes the moon in the sky is for all to see. It is visible for all to see at night.
We can see moon and stars in the sky at night.But sometimes it may not be seen by us because of clouds in the sky.
