Not every day. Not today for example. But probably about 80% of days have a visible Moon at some point during daylight. This is not new. It has been so always. You probably just never noticed it before. I always look at the sky and usually try to see the Moon. If you do this every day you will notice the pattern of changing position in the sky compared to the Sun and the changing phases. It is pretty cool. I think it is anyway.

You can see the Moon in daylight at some point on nearly every day of the month; it's a normal occurrence. The only days that you can't see the Moon during the daytime are at New Moon, when the Moon is so close to the Sun that it's hidden by the Sun's glare, and Full Moon, when it's directly opposite the Sun, and so only visible in the night sky.

yet another observer who would not understand that the moon orbits (is going around) the Earth as quickly as a month. virtually a million/2 the time of the orbit you will see the moon interior the daylight hours. For each and every week after new moon you will see the crescent moon interior the jap sky and overhead interior the mornings. you will see the crescent moon for each week till now new moon interior the western sky and overhead interior the mornings. magnificent now I see the crescent moon quickly overhead right here in California. It looks completely organic to me. the only time the moon's shape is set via the Earth's shadow is for the period of a lunar eclipse. that occurs in basic terms for the period of an entire moon era. And the shadow then would not look like tiers of the moon. FYI the moon blocks out the sunlight for the period of a image voltaic eclipse. shows the quantity of YOUR know-how.

it depends on where it is during the day. it seems you've forgotten that the moon doesn't disappear during the day. its still there just harder to see.

The sun still hasnt fully risen, therefore the reflection of the moon shines onto earth. Confusing but true!! xx
