If you are still living under the assumption that the moon can only be seen in the night sky, you’re incorrect! The fact is that the moon is always hanging around our planet; sometimes, it’s visible during the day (given you have the right climatic conditions), and other times it is visible during the night. There are two main reasons why we sometimes see the moon during the day: 1. The moon is bright and close enough to be seen against the blue hue of the sky. 2. The duration for which it is above the horizon of Earth coincides with the sun, making it possible to be seen during the daytime. In this video, we will look into these two reasons in more detail to understand the science of moon sightings during the day.
