It only sometimes is. And whenever you can see it in the day, that means that you won't see it that night. The moon revolves around the earth, but not at the same rate that the earth rotates on its axis. That means that sometimes the moon is visible during the day, and sometimes at night. You don't notice it as often during the day, though.
========================
The moon is 'up', in the sky, on the average, for about 12hours and 25minutes out of
every 24 hours. If you know where to look, you can see it in the sky at some time
during almost every night and almost every day.
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.
A daytime moon is commonly referred to as a "day moon." It is the same astronomical body as the moon that is visible at night but is observed during the day.
False the new moon cant be seen from earth at all.
You will never see a full moon during daytime. This is because the full moon is directly opposite the sun in the sky, making it visible only at night when the sun has set.
No. The Moon's phases do not 'go away', they simply become less visible when sunlight outshines the Moon's reflection.
Because you're not looking in the right place. I have often seen the Moon in the daytime; it's not a rare occurrence. ____________________________________________________________ Earth's moon is often visible during the daytime. Seeing the Moon before dark, or even in bright daylight, is an ordinary occurrence.

The Moon is not seen only at night. The Moon can be seen whenever it is over the horizon and can reflect light back to the viewer. Is it often visible in the daytime, but as it is only reflecting light it can be difficult to see against the bright sky.

Out of every 24 hours, the moon is up in the sky for about 12hours 49minutes. In the course of a month, it spends the same number of hours in the daytime sky as it does in the night-time sky. The way it works out, though, the moon's phase ... the amount that's illuminated ... is smaller in the day and larger at night, on the long-term average. Technically, the Full Moon rises at sunset, so it's the only phase that's not visible in the daytime.
No. When the moon is full, it appears half-the-sky away from the sun, so it can't be in the sky at the same time that the sun is.
The moon takes about 28 days to rotate around the earth. And it takes 24 hours for the earth to rotate in the spot. At some point the moon is at the same side of the earth as the sun. and when the earth is facing the sun it is daytime. so when the moon is at the same side of the earth as the sun you can see it at daytime.
During daytime, the moon doesn't shine as brightly because it reflects the sun's light and is often washed out by the brightness of the sun. You may be able to see the moon during the day if it is close to the horizon or during certain phases of the moon when it is bright enough to be visible against the blue sky.
The entire night? Only one night, during the full moon, when the Moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. However, the Moon is generally visible in the daytime as well, except for a day either side of the new moon.
