The moon is above your horizon and in your sky for about 12 hours 25 minutes

out of every 24 hours, on the average. That means that it's in the sky for at

least part of every day and at least part of every night. There are a few reasons

why you might not notice it:

-- You're not looking at the right time or in the right place.

-- The phase of the moon may be a crescent so slender that it's hard to find in a daytime sky.

-- It may be the time of "New Moon", when none of the moon's lighted side faces earth,

and the moon isn't visible even though it's 'up'.

It doesn't really disappear, however each month there is the "new moon" phase, were we see only the dark side of the moon, as the sun is on the other side of it.

Actually the month was originally defined based on the Moon's movement, so it's not exactly a coincidence.

There is no month without a moon - the moon is our satellite and is always in the sky!
