Where would the sun be in the afternoon and in the morning? Where would the moon be in night?

In the morning, the sun is in the East. In the afternoon, it moves to the West.
The moon does not care if it is night or day. It could be up at anytime. However, it, too, rises in the East, and sets towards the West.
The question you, the artist has to solve is, how do you depict these if the subject is facing South? Or North? Or any other direction?
There are LOTS of nights where the moon is not, even, visible. Plenty of days, especially in the Winter, where the sun is not apparent.
Add to that, like the other lady says, you don't even have to show either of those objects in a drawing. (but the artist should have a pretty good idea from which direction the light source comes.)

The sun is closer to the horizon during the morning and afternoon. It rises from the east and sets in the west. The moon also rises and sets and its highest altitude on a day varies and has nearly the same limits as the Sun. It differs during Earth seasons and lunar phases, with the full moon being highest in winter. The location on Earth also effects its position in the sky. So, unless you're drawing something very specific and accurate, I suppose its position isn't defined and you may place where you wish. I hope this helps you with your drawing, bye.

really depends on where it's supposed to be. if it's a fantasy world, it wouldnt matter because planetary orbits differ from those in our solar system. if it's on earth, it depends on the date and the location. For example, there wouldnt be a sun in the winter in antarctica. In short, give more details or draw them wherever the heck you'd like.
