There are several reasons the moon may not be visible:
1) It is over the horizon from the person observing it - past their line of sight
2) The view of the moon is blocked by something such as clouds (or walls if you are inside)
3) During a "new moon" the side of the moon that is illuminated is opposite the side that would be observed from the surface of the earth - and it is rising and setting with the sun. The moon may still receive a small amount of light reflected from the earth, but under these conditions, the moon is not visible because without that illumination from the sun, the sun is so much brighter than the feeble re-reflected light (from the sun to the earth to the moon) that the moon is not visible. A dramatic example of this is when the moon lines up with the sun to produce a solar eclipse.
What else can I help you with?
Why is the moon sometimes visible during the daytime?
The moon is sometimes visible during the daytime because its position in its orbit around the Earth causes it to be in the sky at the same time the sun is. Depending on its phase, angle, and position relative to the sun and Earth, the moon can be visible during the day.
What moon is not visible?
The Dark Moon, sometimes call "New Moon" is the phase of the moon where it is between the Earth and the Sun and cannot be seen.
What cycle is moon not visible?
The Dark Moon, sometimes call "New Moon" is the phase of the moon where it is between the Earth and the Sun and cannot be seen.
Can you see the moon and the sun at the same time?
It is not possible to see the moon and the sun at the same time since they are located on opposite sides of the sky. The moon is visible mainly at night when the sun has set, and the sun is visible during the day when the moon is not usually visible.
Is the moon always out during the day?
No, the moon is not always out during the day. The moon's visibility during the day depends on its phase and position relative to the sun and Earth. Sometimes the moon is visible during the day, especially in the early morning or late afternoon, but it is not always visible.
When the moon is visible in Asia is it visible in America?
Sometimes. When the Moon is just setting in America, it is rising in Asia.

Is it visible in the eastern sky or the western sky?
The moon orbits the earth once a month, so throughout the month, observations taken at the same time of day will show how the moon moves around us during that time. Sometimes it will be in the west, sometimes above and sometimes in the east. A lot of the time it won't be visible on your side of the planet. It depends on where the moon is in it's orbit.
Is the moon always out during the day?
No, the moon is not always out during the day. The moon's visibility during the day depends on its phase and position relative to the sun and Earth. Sometimes the moon is visible during the day, especially in the early morning or late afternoon, but it is not always visible.
Why is new moon sometimes visible?
Because of the sun light reflecting off of it. Update: Normally new moons are invisible since the moon is between the Earth and Sun. However during the rare solar eclipses the new moon will be visible as a silhouette.
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.
Is moon playing a great role in making stars visible to us in night?
No, the moon does not play a role in making stars visible to us in the night sky. Stars are visible because they emit their own light, while the moon reflects light from the sun. The moon's brightness can sometimes make it harder to see dimmer stars, but it does not directly affect the visibility of stars.
Why can you see the moon in the morning but not at night?
The moon is visible in the morning sometimes because it is still in the sky from the previous night. In contrast, you may not see the moon at night if it has already set below the horizon or if it's in a different phase that makes it less visible.
