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.

How does the moon become a new moon?

The new Moon "phase" is when the Moon is (more or less) in front of the Sun. We cannot normally see the Moon in this phase. If the Moon is exactly in front of the Sun, the Moon covers the Sun and we see a solar eclipse.


Why do we see the moon?

We see the moon because it reflects the sun's light.


When you see a full moon during the day what phase of the moon are really in?

To be technical about it, you can't see a completely full moon during the day. When the moon is completely 100% full, it has to be exactly opposite the sun in the sky. 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.


What are the causes of moons phases to occur?

as the earth moves so does the moon and where the earth orbits the sun and the moon orbits earth as the earth moves around the sun the sun projects light and it hits the moon and we can see the light from the sun reflecting off the moon


Why can you see the full moon only at night?

Because this is how the moon cycle works: MOON---EARTH---SUN=full moon EARTH---MOON---SUN=new moon. So, when you see the moon during the daytime, it's because its orbit is interfering with the Sun's. But during a full moon, when the moon is behind the Earth, it cannot interfere. See?

Why do you see phases of the Moon and not of the Sun?

We see phases of the Moon because we see the Moon by the Sun's light reflected off it. As the Earth and Moon orbit each other, the Sun-Moon-Earth angle changes, and we see different portions of the Moon's day side. The Sun is a star, so it shines with its own light and so there is no dark side.


What moon phase do you see when the earth is between the sun and moon?

lunar eclipse which is the moon blocking the sun


Can you see sun from moon?

Yes, the brightness of the moon is the sun reflecting light off of the moon's surface so te sun reaches the moon.
