Its weird how the moon sometimes shows during the day. Does that mean the sun can show during the night?

Answer 1

Lewis Carroll reported:
The sun was shining on the sea,
Shining with all his might:
...
And this was odd, because it was
The middle of the night.

So yes, I guess so.

Answer 2

What a silly question.

The Sun is where daylight comes from. So day is, by definition, whenever the Sun is in the sky. Therefore night is whenever the Sun is not in the sky.

The Moon being in the sky during daytime is only "weird" if you have the antiquated notion that the Sun and Moon are opposites. This is not the case. The Moon revolves around the Earth once every 29 days. Half of its revolution puts it between the Earth and the Sun, in which case it can be seen in the daytime. When it gets too near the Sun, however, it becomes invisible because the Sun is so bright.

Answer 3

There's absolutely nothing weird about being able to see the Moon during the day. If you paid any attention to the sky, you'd know that the Moon is in the sky roughly half the time out of every 24 hours, without any regard as to whether it's day or night. Because the Moon revolves arorond the Earth, it can be at any angle from the Sun, depending on its position in its orbit. They teach this in grade 6!

Answer 4

Well no. The only reason we could still see the moon during daytime is because of its orbit around the earth. The sun couldn't show during the night because it's on the opposite side of the world at that time.

Answer 5

No. The definition of night is when you can't see the sun. The moon doesn't orbit the earth in sync with the sun and sometimes you can see the reflection of the sun on the moon even in the daytime. (The light you see from the moon is only the reflection from the sun)

Answer 6

Things don't work that way. The moon shines due to light reflected from the sun. The intensity of the light is sufficient that if the moon is still not set during the day, it can be seen.

Answer 7

Nope.

By definition, night is when the sun is not in the sky.

The moon shines by reflected sunlight, so we see the reflected sunlight off the moon until the moon sets.
The moon rises later and later each night, and sets later and later each night. After full moon it sets so late that its still in the sky when the sun rises.

Answer 8

No. By definition the night is the time when the Sun is not up. The Sun not being up is what makes it night.

Answer 9

i am always surprised to see the moon in the sky before sunset I have not ever seen the sun at night

Answer 10

the sun shines all the time regaurdless of the earth....LOL
i know this is not ur question though
