The moon can only be seen at night because the sun's rays reflect off of it's surface. But during the day, the moon is much more dull than the sky and the sun by comparison.
The Moon Is Seen At Night From Earth because, When The Sky Is Dark, So Is The Atmosphere, And The Moon Is Very Bright Compared To The Black Atmosphere, Same Reason The Earth Is Seen From The Moon. :)
there's not just one time - depending on where you are on Earth, you can see a full moon once every month, at the beginning of each lunar phase.
The moon orbits the Earth in a period that doesn't exactly equal the rotational period of Earth itself, so half the time it's on the opposite side of the Earth from wherever you happen to be.
New Moon. At that time, the entire illuminated side of the moon faces away from earth. When welook at the moon, we're looking at the entirely un-illuminated side, and we see nothing.
The moon rotates on it's axis within the same period of time the moon orbits the earth, therefore only the "near side" of the moon can be seen from Earth. Technically the moon's "year" and the moon's "day" are equal length.
Half of the moon is always lit up by the sun at any given time, and the moon orbits the Earth so us observers on Earth will see different amounts of the moon lit up. These different "shapes" we see are called the phases of the moon.
About half of the moon is always lit by the sun. This is because only one half of the moon is visible from Earth at any given time. The amount of light that can be seen from Earth reflects different phases of the moon as it orbits.
It is to do with the amount of time it takes the moon to orbit Earth. Moon and Month are related words.It is to do with the amount of time it takes the moon to orbit Earth.

The moon is continually orbiting the Earth, so at times it will be seen in daylight, because it happens to be on the side of the Earth that is nearer to the sun at that time, but far away from the sun not to be outshone.
A new moon occurs when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, with its illuminated side facing away from Earth. During a new moon, the moon is not visible from Earth because the side that is illuminated is facing away from us.
The reason that no one on earth has ever seen the other side of the moon, is because the moon also rotates on its axis, in exactly the same amount of time that it takes to do one revolution of the earth. Th result of this is that as the moon revolves on its axis and at the same time orbits around the earth it always keeps showing the same face to the earth. (Puting aside the natural disasters that would happen for a moment) if you were to hold the moon in place, rather then have it orbit the earth, the moon would be seen to rotate, and we would see all sides of it.
At the Full Moon, the Moon is on the side of Earth that is opposite from the Sun (i.e. behind the Earth as viewed from the Sun), so that the face of the Moon that we see is the half that is illuminated by the Sun.At any other time, we see "phases" of the Moon, because the Sun is illuminating part of the "far side", the face of the Moon that is never seen from Earth.
