Gibbous Moon in the Morning Sky, by Suzette Richards - image generated

The Moon actually spends almost as much time in the daytime sky as the night. Unlike our Sun, the Moon doesn't create its own light. We can only see it because light from the Sun is reflecting off of its surface. During a full Moon, the Moon is opposite the Sun in the sky. That's why we can see the full face of the Moon reflecting sunlight. As the Earth rotates, the Moon rises just as the Sun sets, but just on that one day of the month. In the days before a full Moon, if you look in the eastern sky, you can find the almost full Moon rising before the sun sets. And the days after a full Moon, you can look in the western sky and find the Moon setting after the Sun has come up. These two phases are referred to as seeing a gibbous Moon. A quarter moon/sickle moon can be seen overhead during the daytime if conditions are favourable.
