- Yes, the Moon can often be seen during the day.
- The Moon does not produce its own light; it shines by reflecting sunlight from the Sun.
- Its visibility during the day depends on its phase and its position in the sky relative to the Sun and Earth.
- During certain phases, like the first quarter or last quarter, the Moon is high enough in the sky and sufficiently illuminated by the Sun to be seen even when the Sun is also visible.
