You are looking up in the sky at morning and saw the moon,you starts thinking how it is there,

Let's know how,

Sometimes you see moon during the day. We know that moon is brightest object in the night sky but during the day the sun is much brighter. Then why is it ?

The moon looks brighter in the night because of the light reflecting off from moon's surface. The sun always lights the one side of moon but we cannot see it everytime as the moon orbits the earth.

The moon is not seen during the day if it is full moon day or new moon day.
