In between the new and full moons, the moon is sometimes visible in the daylight because enough surface area is being reflected toward earth and it's sufficiently far from the sun to not be totally overwhelmed by the Sun's glare.

The full moon is 180 degrees from the sun, with earth in between. As the sun rises the moon sets and vice versa. So the full moon is not visible in the daytime as it is not around when the sun is up.

The new moon rises and sets with the sun. It is too close to the sun and hard to see.

The moon orbits the earth once a month. As it travels, it's rising and setting time changes later and later, and its relationship between the sun and earth changes to account for the lunar phases.

DOC = The phases in order appear as a crescent letter D, then the letter O for full, and ends looking like the letter C and then disappears completely for a day or two as the new moon.
The moon is in a position that sunlight reflects off the moon during the daytime.
