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.

What is it called when less and less of the illuminated half of the moon can e seen each night?
When less and less of the illuminated half of the moon can be seen each night, it is called the "waning" phase of the moon. Specifically, this occurs after the full moon, leading to phases such as the waning gibbous and waning crescent. During this time, the visible portion of the moon decreases until it reaches the new moon phase.

Why do you see the moon in the day but not the sun at night?
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.
