why can i see the moon during the day

The Moon can be seen during the day because it reflects sunlight and is bright enough to be visible even against the blue sky. The Moon spends almost as much time in the daytime sky as it does at night, but it is less noticeable because the sky is bright. The Moon's visibility during the day depends on its phase and position relative to the Sun. For example, near the new Moon, it is too close to the Sun to see, and near the full Moon, it is visible mostly at night. The Moon is above the horizon about 12 hours each day, often overlapping with daylight hours, making it visible during the day when conditions are right. The brightness of the Moon compared to stars also explains why the Moon is easily seen while stars are not visible during daylight.
