For the moon to only be out at night (and never day), it would always have to be on the opposite side of the earth as the sun. That only occurs one day out of the month, so most of the time it can be seen during the day. It just depends on what time of day.

Moon Out During The Day

2016-11-07 06:13:52 · answer #2 · answered by ? 4 · 0 0

The Moon goes slowly around the Earth, making one orbit every 29 days or so. Sometimes it's almost in line with the Sun, but that close to the Sun it's too hard to look at. Sometimes it's exactly on the other side of us from the Sun, so we see the Moon rising in the east just as the Sun is setting in the west.

In between these times, the Moon rises or sets a few hours ahead or behind the Sun. For example, at what's called "first quarter", the Moon rises when it's close to noon. You can a half-circle of the Moon coming up in the eastern sky as the Sun heads west during the afternoon. By sunset, the Moon is close to directly overhead.

Read a book on basic astronomy for a better explanation.

It is a VERY common thing. Why would you think it makes no sense? The Moon orbits Earth 12 times a year and Earth orbits the Sun 1 time a year, making the Sun SEEM to circle Earth 1 time a year. So naturally the Moon catches up with and passes the Sun in the sky 12 times a year. It MUST often be close to the Sun and so up in the sky at the same time as the Sun. It makes perfect sense. By the way, the stars are up in the daytime too, but they are not bright enough to see unless it is dark. The Moon IS bright enough to see in the daylight sky.

The moon is constantly out, it is just hard to see during the day because it is so bright outside. At night, when the part of earth we are on is facing away from the sun, we can see the light from the sun reflecting off the moon, which makes it appear bright to us. Hopefully this helped you.

The moon out during the day because the light that the moon get is from the sun. The sun is brighter than the moon. During at daylight there still a moon but the sun is brighter than the moon so that we didn't see it.

The moon orbits the Earth, so even when we can't see it (because its close to the sun) its still out.
We can see it in the early mornings just before new moon because the moon hasn't set yet when the sun rises.
Most people just don't notice it because its low in the western sky just after sunrise and is faint (washed out by the sunlight).
