Why do I see the moon in the day?

The moon is seen during daytime for the same reason it is seen in the night - It reflects light from the sun. Usually the moon is seen in the morning and at dusk, when the sunlight is not as bright as during midday. The reason why many people are wondering about this is the biblical reference (Genesis 1); that the moon and stars are seen during the night While the sun during the day. During solar eclipses, even the stars (esp. the brighter ones) are visible. The moon orbits the earth, and it takes about 27.32 earth days to do it. So it makes sense that from time to time you will see it during the day. Notice that most of the time when you observe this the sun and moon are separated by quite an angle. The closer the moon gets to the sun the less of the sunlit surface of the moon there is to see. Also the brightness of the sun itself obscures the moon at the time of the new moon.

Explain what causes us to see the different phases of the moon Include in your explanation a reference to the motion of the moon involved the relationship of the earth's and moon's plane of orbit a?

What you can see of the moon is the light of the sun on the moon. The part that is dark is where the sun's light is not shining on the moon. The part where the light of the sun is on the moon is experiencing "moon day" and where it is not shining is the "moon night." When the moon is in part of its orbit that is between the earth and the sun, we mostly see the part of the moon which is dark. Since the moon is on the sun's side of the earth, we see it during the day. So a New Moon can always be seen during the day. Conversely, when the moon is in the part of its orbit in which the earth is between the moon and the sun, we mostly see the part of the moon which is in sunshine. We mostly see the moon at night, and a Full Moon can always be seen during the night. It is important to note that the dark part of the moon is not the earth's shadow on the moon. The earth's shadow falls on the moon occurs during a lunar eclipse, which is always during a full moon because the earth is between the sun and the moon and always seen at night.

Why is there no moon in the day?

There are many times that the moon can be seen during the day. It all depends where the moon rises in conjunction with the position of the Sun. When the moon rises the Sun must be opposite in order for it's light to hit the moon to reflect back to earth.
