Why do we see a half moon in the night sky?

We see a half moon in the night sky because of the position of the moon in relation to the sun and Earth. When the moon is at a certain angle, only half of it is illuminated by the sun, creating the appearance of a half moon.


Why can you sometimes see the moon during day?

The Moon revolves around the Earth at a period of about 29.5 days. At the same time each day, if you plot the location of the Moon, it will have moved (360degrees/29.5days)=12.2 degrees from where it was the previous day. This is approximately the distance between your pinkie and fore fingers when you stretch your arm out and spread your fingers, tucking your thumb in. In this way, the Moon makes its way across the sky, spending half of its time in the daytime sky and half of its time in the nighttime sky. This is also the reason why the moon has apparent phases. As a sphere, it is illuminated on one half of its body by the sun. Our perspective of the light and dark sides shows up as a progression from full to gibbous to half to crescent to new.
