The moon can be seen during the day, but it often hides in plain sight. Imagine you're playing hide and seek with a friend who is very bright, if they’re near you, you might not notice them at first because they’re too close to you. The moon is like that friend: when it's close to the sun in the sky (like during the day), it looks small and pale compared to the sun’s brightness, so we often miss it unless we're looking for it.
Examples
- Sometimes the moon is high up in the sky on a bright, sunny day, but it goes unnoticed until you look up.
- The moon appears small and pale during the day because the sun is so much brighter.
