Why can we see the moon during the day. The Moon doesnt create its own light like the Sun does we only see the Moon because it is being lit by the Sun and this light is. The Moon revolves around the Earth approximately once every 28 days.

Many people associate the Moon with nighttime. From the perspective of our planet the Moon acts like everything else in the sky meaning it rises in the east and sets in the west.

Sometimes we can even see it in the daytime. It has no light of its own and the reason we see it is that it reflects the Suns light. Because of the Earths rotation the moon is above the horizon roughly 12 hours out of every 24.

The far side of the Moon is in full sunlight and the near side of the Moon receives no sunlight. The moon is visible during the day for the same reason why we see it at night. When the earth faces away from the sun it becomes dark and we see the moon in the sky.

When the moon is close to new moon cycle it is not visible during the day. The new moon is also in the daytime sky. In fact the Moon is visible during daytime for about half of the month.

We can see the Moon in daytime due to closeness of it to the Earth of course this changes as the Moon goes through its phases The stars are also there but the are too far away from us to be able to see then in daylight as the light from our Sun is too powerful.

Each day the Moon rises about 50 minutes later than it did the day before. The Sun is a very hot ball of gas. When the earth faces the sun during its rotation the energy from the sun gives us light and heat.

All about the sunlight. The Moon can sometimes appear in the sky during the daytime because it is the closest object to Earth and because its orbital cycle means that sometimes it is brighter in the day than at night. Primarily there are two reasons why we sometimes see the moon during the day.

Because it is illuminated by the sun. This fact is not too important to understanding the Moon by day but it has all. If you know where to look its not only possible to see the Moon during daylight hours but its a fact that our Moon spends just as much time in.

When the Sun rises in the early morning the Full Moon sets. Thats because Earth is rotating from west to east. On earth we know that we have two bright objects in the sky.
