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.

When there is a new moon, the moon is on the same side of the earth as the sun. So you see the moon during the day. Of course there are certain times of the day that it is most visible.

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.

Because the Sun is shining on the side of the Moon we can see even in the daylight.

50% in sunlight hours, 50% contained in the evening sky. The Earth rotates below the Moon once each 24 hours, so the Moon must be contained in the sky an everyday of 12 hours out of each 24.

Your proximity in corelation to the trianglation of the sun, moon and earth. You were on one point of the triangle.

There are times when the angle is just so that we can see it. The reflection of sunlight is strong enough that it does not get "washed out" like stars do.

Because it's afraid of the dark.
