You can see the moon during the day because it reflects sunlight and is bright enough to be visible against the blue sky. The stars, on the other hand, are much fainter and typically outshone by the sun's light during the day, making them difficult to see. The moon's position in the sky also plays a role; it can be in a part of the sky where it's visible during daylight hours. Thus, while the moon can be seen, the stars remain hidden due to the overwhelming brightness of the sun.

Why is it sometimes you can see the moon in the day and sometimes you can't see it at night?

You can see the moon in the day if it's in a specific phase and position in relation to the sun. During a full moon, it's visible both day and night. When the moon is a crescent or in a different phase, it may not be visible at night due to its position relative to the Earth and the sun.


What objects do you see in the night time sky?

In the night sky, you can see stars, planets, the Moon, constellations, and sometimes satellites or shooting stars. These objects appear as points of light against the dark backdrop of space and can be observed with the naked eye or with the help of telescopes or binoculars.


Can the sun the moon and the stars be seen when the sun is in the sky?

You can see the sun when the sun is in the sky--don't look directly at it! You can sometimes see the moon, but it's difficult to see stars, perhaps even impossible, when the sun is in the sky.


Can you see the moon and the stars at the same time?

Yes, it is possible to see the moon and the stars at the same time in the sky. The moon is often bright and can outshine the fainter stars, but on clear nights with a waxing or waning moon, you can still see some of the brighter stars in the sky.


Is there stars in the sky when there is no moon that you can see?

Yes indeed. In fact, the moon light obliterates starlight from the dimmer suns. Amateur astronomers prefer to pick "star parties" every other fortnight when the moon is new (opposite of "full") for that reason. In fact, there are also stars in the day, it is just that their light is obliterated by the very bright sun. Although Saturn is a planet, not a star, you can see Saturn in a telescope long after the sun rises. If you know right where to look, you can also see Venus, another planet. When the moon blocks out the sun, as during a total eclipse, the daylight stars shine forth. You see these same stars six months later, when the earth and moon are on the opposite side of the sun.
