Where is the moon during day?

Question

Sometimes its out during day but faint

Answer 1

There are a ridiculous amount of false answers on here and I'm not referring to the ones that posted a humorous response. The Moon has a 27.3 day orbit around Earth. Because of this, it's position in the sky will change daily in relation to the position of the Sun. During the new moon phase, the Moon is close to the Sun's position in the sky. Then it begins to move away from the Sun's position. During full moon phase, the Moon would be opposite the Sun. Then it would begin to slowly move towards the Sun's position again. In general terms, the Moon will rise in the daytime sky for 14 days and rise in the nightime sky for the next 14 days. If you are not able to see the Moon during the day, it means that the Moon is near it's full moon cycle and would be on the opposite side of the Earth than the Sun.

IF the Moon took 29.5 days to orbit Earth, it would match Earth's sidereal month and would then always appear to be in the same position in the sky compared to the Sun.

Answer 2

Can I suggest you make some proper observations of the Moon and the times and locations you can see it. The answer will become clear. If the Moon is visible during the day then it is not visible all night, and so the other side of the world sees it later on as the Earth rotates. Right now, for example, the Moon is a first quarter phase. It is visible in the afternoon sky because it rose around midday. It will continue to be visible in the sky through to about midnight, when it will set. It will then be around 'the other side of the world' until it rises here again. And you're right, if the Moon is visible to you during the day then the other side of the world is experiencing a moonless night at that time. That has nothing to do with the Earth being flat, however.

Answer 3

The link below explains the orbit of the moon around the earth and the resulting shapes that we can see during the day and night. The day time view appears to be fainter because of all the extra light coming directly at us from the sun in the daytime and scattering in the atmosphere giving us the blue of the daytime sky.

Answer 4

In orbit around the Earth, about 238,000 miles away. If you can't see it in the sky during the daytime, it's either because:
a) it's cloudy
b) it's on the other side of the Earth (so you'll see it during the night), or
c) it's a new moon.

But it's always in orbit somewhere -- been that way for about 4.5 billion years . . .

Answer 5

Orbiting the Earth as usual. Just bear in mind that the Moon`s orbit around the Earth is different from the Earths orbit around the Sun, and put simply because of these different orbit rates sometimes you see it at night and sometimes during the day.

Answer 6

it depends on several factors, firstly the earth is rotating, and the moon is in orbit around the earth and both of these objects are in orbit around the sun, this means at different times the mon will be visible at night time or day time, will be illuminated or not or partially depending on the period of the cycle of rotation it happens to be on any given day

Answer 7

Moon is always where it is during the night or in the morning. Moon is a non-luminous object so we see moon in the night because the sun's rays fall on it and make it shine.

Answer 8

The moon orbits the earth (it is the earths only natural sateliteit moves round the earth), at the same time the earth rotates on a spot and also orbit the sun too. This natural process brings about day and night. That is why you can not always the moon except during the night.

Ideas for Spirit days?

Answer 10

The mice eat the cheese during the day so it goes fainter but when the cows come home they get milked and make more cheese for the night time ... HONESTLY lol
