Why does the moon and the sun appear in the day sky and the moon is not full?

The Moon rises about 50 minutes later each night. After a few weeks, it is logically rising in the morning, and crossing the sky during the day. As the month goes on, it eventually is rising at night again. The moons movements are independent of the sun. Though day length varies, the sun is always up during the "day", and gone at night. Not so the moon.

So if the sun is 'up', then the full moon must be 'down'.You can see the "almost full" moon during the day. When it still has a little way to go before it's full, it will rise shortly before the sun sets. And when the moon is slightly past full, it'll still be in the western sky when the sun rises in the morning.In Arctic or Antarctic latitudes, it is possible to see the Full moon while the Sun is visible "looking over the pole.
