The Moon is usually visible for about half of the day -- it's just that most of that time is at night. But occasionally in daylight the Moon can be seen, because it's in the right places for sunlight to hit it and reach Earth at levels high enough for the Moon to be seen above the background sunlight.

That the Moon can be in the daytime sky along with the Sun occasionally culminates in one of the most spectacular of all astronomical phenomena, a Solar eclipse - http:// earthsk y.org/t onight/ total-s olar-ec lipse-f or-equa torial- africa- on-nove mber-3# african
