I'm not sure where your question comes from, or even what it means, but I'll do my best.

The moon goes around the Earth every 4 weeks (roughly). This is why we see different phases; sometimes, it's in such a position that we only see part of the sunlit side.

When the moon is in the two weeks of its "getting bigger" time (called waxing), it will seem to be following the sun across the sky during the day. Shortly after New Moon, when it's a thin crescent, it will set within a couple of hours of the sun.

What it's actually doing is moving further around, away from the sunlit side of the Earth.

In the following days as it appears bigger, you'll see that it sets later and later after the sun. At Full Moon, it rises as the sun sets, and sets 12 hours or so later, when the sun rises.

In the days after that, it rises later and later. After a few days it's rising in the early morning, before the sun, and therefore seems to be leading the sun across the sky in the morning. During this two weeks, youll see the moon appears in a smaller phase night by night, until it rises at the ame time as the sun and we can't see it at all, because its sunlit side is facing away from us.

Then the cycle starts again.

The sunlight. The moon grew to become right into a satellite tv for pc that grew to become into spinning the earth, which itself grew to become into born of the dirt debris that grew to become into spinning around the sunlight, drawing itself mutually and forming via the rigidity of gravity. The sunlight is a larger heavenly physique interior the photograph voltaic gadget and is older. The planets basically shaped plenty later, that's composed of the moon itself.

God made the moon to rule the night, and the sun to rule the day. If you look up though on a nice warm sunny day, you can see the moon as well.

Well the truth is that theyre sometimes out at the same time but you can only see the moon at night because the sun is so bright that it makes thee moon appear to disappear even tho it is still there.

hey, the truth is, the sun and the moon appears at the same time, because the sun is much brighter than the moon, then you cannot see the moon during daytime.
