There is a very simple reason why the sun is not seen at night. The following argument is
presented in all seriousness:
What are the definitions of "day" and "night" ? They are, respectively, the period of time when
the sun is up, and the period of time when the sun is not up.
The sun is not seen in the night, simply because we define "night" to be the time when the
sun is not seen.
We don't define day and night in terms of the moon, since its influence on our ability to get around
and pursue our activities is relatively negligible.

Why cant you see the moon as well in the day as you can at night?
because of the sun
Whether sun and moon same?
sun and moon different sun bigger, farther, hotter, heavier, brighter than moon sun all gas, moon all rock people been to moon, no people been to sun you can see moon day or night, but you can't see sun at night
When earth is in between the sun and moon is it up all day or all night?
When the Earth is in the middle, you have to be on the side away from the sun in order to see the moon. That side can't see the sun, so it said to be "night" there.
Why can't we rarely see the moon during the day?
you can't see the moon rarely in the day because the sun is already shining on earth. the moon is just a rock thats reflects light from the sun at night
Why can you see the moon at night?
The sun shines to the moon at night time
Why does the moon seem to shine at nigth?
The moon seems to shine at night, because it reflects the light given off by the sun. We can not see the moon's reflection during the day, because the sun light is too bright, but, at night, the moon reflects the light given off by the sun and we can see it.
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 does the moon get so hot during the day and so cold at night?
During the day the sun is out and shines on the moon, but at night the sun goes down, therefore the moon is dark when the sun is down.
Does the moon come out in daylight?
YES!!! However, by comparison with night time it is much fainter. This is because Sun lights is much brighter. You see the Moon because it is reflecting Sun light. In the day time the Moon's shape will be crescent.
Can you see the moon in the Arctic when there is no sun?
Sometimes, yes. Whether or not the moon is visible depends on the time of year, time of day or night, and the position of the moon.
Why the sun arise at day time and the moon arise at night time?
Day happens because we are in the sun's direct light. The sun seems to "arise" when actually the earth is rotating. The moon can be out in the "daytime" the moon's orbit around the earth has little to do with night and day. Although the moon is brighter at night.
Why do you see the moon only at night?
Actually, you can see it in the day too, but it's more clearer in the night. Want to know why? Read on! The sun is basically the reason why the moon is clearer at night. As you know, in the day, the sun is shining, and it is so strong that it does not make the moon visible. What I mean is, since the moon has light too, like the sun, it camouflages with the sunlight, or it blends in with the sunlight. When it blends in, you can't see the moon. At night, it's a whole different story. As you know, the sun sets at night, so not a lot of sun is shining on your side of the earth. Sometimes it does shine a little, which makes a crescent moon, and, well, you know. But when there is no sunlight shining, you will see the full moon. Cool, right? Anyway, I hope it helped because you just wasted thirty seconds of my life. Have a wonderful day (Or in this case...Have a wonderful night! [Ooh...Having a little bit of that?])
