The moon circles the Earth every 4 weeks or so. During much of that time, it's on the same side of the Earth as the sun. In other words, it's around the side of the Earth that's in daylight.

Each day, the moon rises in the east 55 minutes earlier than it did the day before. In this way, in the course of 28.8 days, the moon will be seen in all parts of the sky, even if the sky is daylight blue. The moon's surface is brighter than the daylight sky so it is easy to see in the daytime.

The moon's reflected light is strong enough to penetrate the glow of our atmosphere; and, there are times during the moon's path around the Earth that it's present in the sky the same time as the sun.

Because the Moon is bright enough to see in the bright daytime sky. The stars are in the daytime sky too, but they are not bright enough to see during the day.
