The Moon's visibility is not dependant on whether any particular earth location is illuminated by the Sun or not. If the Moon is in a position relative to the Earth and Sun where the sunlight it relects is of sufficient magnitude and brightness to be seen by an observer .. it will be seen whether the observer is experiencing night or day on the Earth.

Since the Moon revolves around the Earth, and the Earth around the Sun, there are times when the Moon's position is on the forward side of the Earth in relation to the Sun. Therefore, both sphere's are eluminated at the same time. The moon's illumination is then greater than the atmosphere's normal bolcking capacity, and the Moon is therefore visible to us during daylight hours. Does that make any sence?

The moon isn't on the same schedule as Earth is. The moon comes up about 50 minutes later each night/day. So sometimes it's up in the daytime. The moon is bright enough with reflected sunlight for us to see it.

It hasn't made it far enough in the rotation around the Earth to have disappeared from view yet. Plus, the moon glows due to sunlight reflected off of it.

because the sun's light dominate the moon's light( well really that is not true because the moon does not give off light at all it's the sun's light on other parts of the world bouncing off of earth and hitting the moon and give us the idea that the moon is shinning)!!!! look it up its true! My seventh grade teacher told my class and its in my science book!!!!! :) :) :)

If the moon is sufficiently full, it is visible in full daylight: it is bright enough to be seen through the glare of the atmosphere.

Why not? It's not like it just goes away during the day.
