Starting with the full moon - A day or two before the "full moon" you will see the
moon rise just before sunset. At full moon it will rise as the sun sets, and of course
after the sun sets as the time goes on. Each night after, notice how the light on the
moon shrinks from full to last quarter and then to nothing (a 2 week time period).
Also during this time you will notice the moon "traveling" closer to the sun.
Two weeks from full moon (day may vary) look for the sliver of the moon just before sunset.
As the moon moves into NEW moon and you cannot see at all, watch for it to become noticable
as a sliver in the other direction as the sun sets. Follow the light on the moon as
it expands to first quarter and then to full. So you can actually see the moon and the sun
at the same time virtually most of the month.

During the phases of the moon when the moon is moving in it's orbit away from the sun after a new moon and toward the sun just before a new moon. At these times the moon rises before the sun sets and you can see both in the sky.

Any time between a full and new moon, during the day, you can see the moon and sun at the same time.

you could be in space =D
maybe a solar eclipse, you could see part of the sun and some of the moon. i know on some clear days about an hour or so before the sun sets, i can see the moon in the blue sky. there are lots'a ways, i suppose.

During Sunrise and sunset we can see both sun and moon...because during that time sunrays arent enough to block the moon...
