Unraveling the Mystery: Why the Moon Shines in Daylight

NASA scientist Sarah Noble explains in a YouTube video that the Moon can be seen during the daytime due to its proximity to Earth, its phase, and its orbit. The Moon reflects sunlight and appears bright enough to be visible during both day and night, depending on its position in the sky. During a full Moon, it is opposite the Sun, allowing us to see its full face reflecting sunlight. The Moon rises just as the Sun sets on the day of a full Moon, and in the days before and after, it can be seen rising or setting before or after the Sun.

The Mystery of Daytime Moon Sightings Unveiled

People on social media are expressing confusion and conspiracy theories about why the Moon is visible in the daytime. Some believe this is a new phenomenon, but in reality, the Moon has always been visible during the day. The Moon reflects sunlight at the Earth during most phases, and its visibility during the day is not unusual. The confusion may stem from a lack of awareness or observation of the sky.
