why can we see the moon went its day?

Answer 1

it os for the same reason why stars are not visible in the morning.the sun's light is much much brighter and blocks the dim moon . however sometimes u can see the moon in the day too (very faint)

Answer 2

While we are rotating on our axis and revolving around the sun, the moon is also revolving around us, about every 29.5 days. (It's rotating slowly too, but I won't go into that.) What we see of the moon (its phases) and when it rises and sets, both depend where it is in its revolution, relative to the Earth and sun.
Sometimes, the moon is opposite the sun (with us in the middle), so the whole side facing us is lit. Obviously, that's the full moon. The full moon is visible all night because it's located facing the side of the Earth that's facing away from the sun (nighttime). It can never be seen during the day, because the side of Earth that's facing the sun (daytime) is then not facing the moon. It rises around sunset and sets around sunrise.
When the moon is waxing (getting bigger), you'll see the right side lit in increasing amounts. The waxing crescent "thumbnail moon" can sometimes be seen in the southern or western sky in the afternoon/evening. It's not generally very noticeable until after sunset because the sun's light tends to wash it out.
When the moon is waning (getting smaller), you'll see the left side lit in decreasing amounts. The waning crescent moon can sometimes be seen in the southern or western sky in the early morning to mid-day. Again, it's not very noticeable, for the same reason.
When the moon is between the sun and Earth, we have a new moon. The whole side of Earth that's facing the sun then is facing away from us, so we can't see it at all.
The first site I have listed under sources has a diagram of the phases, which can be helpful if you're trying to picture it all.
The second site lets you find out the phases of the moon up through 2010, and the moonrise and moonset times for pretty much any date you want, among other things.

Answer 3

Light from the sun reflects off of the moon. It's brighter than stars you see at night because the moon is a lot closer than they are, which is why you can see the moon but not the stars during the day.

When the moon is full it's on the opposite side of the earth from the sun, so you can only see it at night, when your part of the planet faces away from the sun. When then moon isn't close to being full, it's basically between the earth and the sun, just off to the side a little bit. When this happens, the sun and the moon are in the same part of the sky from our view, so when the sun is up the moon is up too.

Answer 4

How come we can sometimes see the moon during the day?

The reason that you don't see the stars during the day is that the sky is too bright. Sunlight scatters around in the air and makes the sky look bright blue. But if you had a telescope and pointed it at a bright star you could still see it during the day! The stars are still there, just hard to see. The moon is bright enough that we can see it during the day or night. It orbits Earth once every 29 days. So during some of that time, it is easiest to see during the day and sometimes during the night.

Answer 5

I think that you can see it after 4-5pm.

Answer 6

The rotation of the Earth. It dosen't get in time I think . . .

Answer 7

because it's positioned right so that the sun's light will reflect off the earth and onto it... i think...

Answer 8

You CAN see it... you just aren't looking the right direction.
