Why Can We See the Moon During the Day

Why we sometimes see the moon and the sun at the same time.
(Inside Science) -- Night is traditionally the moon's time to shine, after the sun has set and doesn't compete. But the moon can sometimes be visible during the day, even when the sun is up -- that's because the moon and the stars are always somewhere in the sky. Sometimes the sun is so bright and its light can overpower the light from the moon and the stars. But sometimes, at certain times of the day and month, we can see the moon during daylight hours.

So how can someone on the opposite side of earth (circle ball) See the moon and it be pitch black? Makes no sense.

Yesterday March 12th 2022. I saw the Sun high in the sky at 4:00pm. I also saw the Moon across from the Sun high in the sky BUT, it was not full. The Moon was 4/5ths full at the top and dark at the 1/5th of the bottom. The Earth was not blocking the bottom of the Moon because I could see both Sun and Moon! What is causing the shadow on the bottom of the Moon when nothing was blocking the view of both Sun and Moon in my view? I am located in south central Indiana. It was clear the Sun could see all of the Moon so why wasn't it a full Moon?

The phases of the moon are not caused by the shadow of the earth.

@@jondularswoods6461 : You don't what causes the phases of the moon? With an internet to search around to find this information, not to mention a lot of videos? You need to learn to do bettering searching. The phases of the moon are simple caused by the sun illuminating the moon and where in space around the moon we, on earth, on viewing it. Yes, I read your post. We see the moon in the sky during the day quite frequently and always have. That's the way the solar system works. It's not that hard to understand but you need to either watch a good demonstration or a good video. Have you watched any videos of this?

@@currencyprofits Wrong, day/night on Earth is produced by rotation of Earth on its axis, while Moon phases are created by relative position of the Sun and Moon in relation to the Earth, so they can't affect each other.

1:02 clearly shows you the flaw in the model, as the sun which is behind the moon as illustrated can have the rays wrap around the moon for us to then see the shadow lmoooooooooooooooooooooo The video also doesn´t mention that you can see all phases of the moon during the day lol.

" The video also doesn´t mention that you can see all phases of the moon during the day lol." We can't see all moon phases during the day. Full Moon phase is visible only during the night, while New Moon is not visible although the Moon is on the sky during the day.

You’re right. Most days of the cycle you would be able to see the moon up while the sun is still. The new moon would be seen, though and a full moon will technically just be rising right about the time the sun is setting.

You can debunk this yourself if you know anyone living on the other side of the Earth. I've video called people I know in Mongolia, and Japan. Sometimes while we have the Sun and Moon in the sky, so do they. That's impossible on a flat or round Earth. We live in a simulation. Feel free to keep arguing about the Earth's shape though. All I care is the Sun and Moon keep working.
