You know that when you get higher up off the ground, you can see farther away ...
in other words, your horizon is farther away.
At night, the Sun is below the horizon for people here on the ground. But it may not
be below the horizon for a high-flying aircraft, and it's certainly not below the horizon
for the moon, which is a quarter-million miles "up off the ground".

∙ 14y agoYou can only see the moon at night because in the daytime, the sun is too bright for us to see the moon. Sometimes, people see the moon very lightly at the daytime, and that is because the sun is not bright enough in that time, or the cloud is covering part of the sun.

∙ 14y agoThe moon is a physical object, moving around the Earth. Sometimes it is in a position to be seen at night; other times it is in a position to be seen in daylight. There simply is no reason for it not to be visible during the day.
The Sun does not move around the Earth, and so is only visible in the daytime.

∙ 13y agoIf you can't see the moon during the day, it's only because you're not looking for it
too conscientiously.
The moon is somewhere in the sky on the average almost 13 hours out of every 24,
including all hours of both daylight and darkness.
If you will look for it during the afternoon and early evening, particularly during the
second week after the New Moon, you're sure to spot it during daylight.

∙ 13y agoThe moon is visible in the daytime because it does not go anywhere when the sun rises - it stays where it is. However, it is only harder to view in the daytime because the sun gives off all light, whereas the moon gives all the light at night. Also, the sky is dark at night; and, the moon being white, appears easily at night.

∙ 14y agoIf you want to see something in your back yard at night, you illuminate it with a flashlight and then you can see it. We can see the moon at night because it is illuminated by the sun. We can't see the sun at that time, because the earth is in our way. But the moon is out from behind the earth, so the sun can shine directly on it.
