It looks like the moon, but no one really knows.

Yes, it is possible to see a full moon during daylight hours because it is big and brightly lit by the Sun. When you look at the Moon, you are seeing the light which reflects off it. Also because of it's size.
The Full Moon is opposite the Sun in the sky and therefore it rises as the Sun sets and sets as the Sun rises. (Actually, near the Earth's poles in summer, you can see the Full Moon during daylight.) You can never see the New Moon either because it is in line with the Sun and hidden by glare. (You can see the New Moon in the daytime, but only when there is a solar eclipse.)
The full moon comes once a month so you see full moon twelve times a year!

During daylight.
It is the moon you see,

It cannot transit relative to any location that is in daylight.

As we see it, it is the full Moon. However, at any time, the Sun is shining on a full side of the moon, so the same amount of light is reflected, but less light is reflected towards us. How much daylight and darkness there is, also affects how much light appears to be reflected from the Moon as we see it. So when the Moon is visible before the Sun sets, it doesn't look as bright as it does after the Sun sets.
