Is there a meaning to seeing the moon during the day?

Question

Today the sun is out and shining, it's a beautiful day!
I did notice the moon in the sky though, and thought it was a little odd. Any omen here?

Answer 1

No, very common. The moon is the only heavenly body you can see from earth during the day. Although, if you have a heavenly body I'd like to see that by day. heh-heh.
Have a great day!!!

Answer 2

Yes, the omen means that you will die in 7 days..

The answer to your question has two parts: why is the moon VISIBLE during
the day, and why is it even ABOVE THE HORIZON during daylight hours. The
answer to the first question is easy: you can see the moon even against
the blue backdrop of the daytime sky, because the moon is very BRIGHT!
It isn't anywhere near as bright as the Sun of course. After all, it only
shines by reflecting light from the Sun anyway - and not that well. But
it is brighter than any OTHER natural object in the sky.

(You can confirm this for yourself by going out into the country on a
moonlit night, and noticing how much brighter the sky and the landscape
both look than compared with a time when the moon is NOT up. There's a
reason why our ancestors called the Autumn full moon the "Harvest Moon":
it was bright enough to keep harvesting their crops all night long!)

In fact, there is one other object which is just BARELY bright enough to
be visible in the daytime, besides the moon and sun: that's the planet
Venus - the third brightest natural light source in the sky. If you know
EXACTLY where to look in the daytime sky, and Venus isn't too close to
the Sun, so you are able to put yourself in the shadow of a convenient
building to block out the Sun's glare, Venus looks like a pale little
"star" shining amid the blue heavens - very pretty, in fact!

Now for the second tougher question: How can the moon ever be above the
horizon when the sun is up? The truth is that the moon goes ALL the way
around the sky roughly once every 29 days. For part of that time (around
Full Moon), the moon is in the part of the sky OPPOSITE the Sun, and is
generally just rising as the Sun sets. But right after Full Moon, as the
moon gradually drifts Eastward each night, it gets closer and closer to
the Sun in the early morning sky - finally appearing to pass quite near
the Sun in the sky around New Moon time. Then it gradually continues its
path Eastward, getting farther and farther from the Sun in the sky each
night, until it gets back to Full Moon!

(And in fact, every once in a great while, the moon actually passes right
OVER the Sun, partially or wholly eclipsing it for a few minutes to hours.
This doesn't happen at every New Moon, of course! Normally, the moon will
pass just north or south of the Sun at each New Moon, as seen from Earth.)

Answer 3

It's as simple as the moon's position in relation to the sun and earth. There's nothing odd about it, stop looking for omens in things you simply don't understand and look for the answer instead. Oops - that's what you are doing isn't it lol? Though looking up scientific resources on the net could provide you a more thorough explanation than those you are going to get on Yahoo Answers.

Answer 4

Not really it just means the moon is on this side of the earth right now. Since the moon doesn't circle the earth at exactly the same rate that the earth turns, it seems that the sun and moon "synch" up every now and then. So you'll see the sun and moon out together. It's sort of like turn signals on cars. When you are at a stop light your signal will go in and out of phase with the car's signal in front of you.
When the sun and moon are together is when you get really high high tides and really low low tides.

Answer 5

no this is normal. due to the rotation of the earth around the sun, and the moon around the earth; you will see the moon in the day sky typically 14 days before or after a full moon. It is called a new Moon because the night sky has no moon at the time.

Answer 6

No omen. It's normal to see the moon during the daylight--It's just that most people usually don't look.
The brightness from the scattered sunlight in the atmosphere is not enough to hide it when it is in the half-moon phase or larger.

Answer 7

Yes, it means the Sun and Moon don't have the Earth between them and it is full enough that you see the Sun's reflected light on the moon. That's the meaning.

Answer 8

no, they have different periods. the earth takes 24 hours to turn, so that is how fast the sun appears to race around the earth. the moon on the other hand, takes around 28 days to do so, so sometimes they appear in the sky at the same time because the apparent motion of the sun is faster... the phase of the moon at that time determines what it looks like to us, whether it is full or crescent.

Answer 9

Yes, your hair will fall out.

Sound silly? It is. Looking at moon any time of the day brings peace to you. If anyone says otherwise, ask them why---no anecdotes about "someone saw it and this happened". Superstition is born out of ignorance. Ask them for proof that can be investigated by an expert. Chances are, they will revert to gobbledygook and anecdotes.

If you are superstitious, then my suggestion is---overcome any fears (specially spread by others) by having a strong faith in yourself and your God. I believe any bad omen can be overcome by strong faith.

Answer 10

It's quite common to be able to see the moon during the daytime. The light from the sun makes it visible.
