1. • Opposite the Sun in the sky

     • During a full Moon, the Moon is opposite the Sun in the sky. That’s why we can see the full face of the Moon reflecting sunlight. As the Earth rotates, the Moon rises just as the Sun sets, but just on that one day of the month.

   Why does the Moon reflect so much light during the day?

   • When the Moon is highly illuminated, it reflects so much light we can even see it during the day. [/caption] The brightness of the daytime sky completely washes out the light from the stars, but the Moon is even brighter, and so we can can see it in the sky during the day.

   Why do we see the Moon during the day?

   • Primarily, there are two reasons why we sometimes see the moon during the day. First of all, the moon is bright and close enough to be seen against the blue hue of the sky. Secondly, the duration for which it is above the horizon of Earth coincides with the sun, making it possible to be seen during the daytime.

   Why can't we see the Moon at night?

   • We can only see it because light from the Sun is reflecting off of its surface. The same is true during the day, and unlike the stars which are also still up there during the day but we can’t see them because the sky is too bright, the Moon actually shines bright enough that you can see it day or night as long as it’s in the right part of the sky.

   Why is the Moon less visible at night?

   • However, with each passing day, as its orbital cycle progresses, the moon keeps getting nearer to the sun until finally, it appears to be very close (around the time of a new moon), rising and setting almost at the same time as the sun. The upshot of this is that the moon becomes less visible at night, and more visible during the daytime!

   Why do we see the full face of the Moon?

   • That’s why we can see the full face of the Moon reflecting sunlight. As the Earth rotates, the Moon rises just as the Sun sets, but just on that one day of the month. In the days before a full Moon, if you look in the eastern sky, you can find the almost full Moon rising before the sun sets.
