the moon in daylight

Not having done a physics lesson in my life - I've often speculated as to why you can see the moon during the day.

As the moon orbits the earth, it must, of course, spend part of the month on the same side as the sun - in the daytime sky.  Unlike the stars, the moon is large enough and bright enough to be seen in the daytime.  During the first half of the phase cycle, the moon is best seen in the afternoon.  During the last half of the cycle, it is best seen in the morning. Clear skies obviously make the moon easier to see. The greater the angle between the moon and the sun, the more of the moon is lighted and the easier it is to see...Check this link for a really good description of the moon and its orbit...http://home.hiwaay.net/~krcool/Astro/moon/moonphase/

Dunno but have you considered that the light we see from the stars can take thousands or millions of years to get here, and yet it is still perfectly synchronised with the hours of darkness.
