can the moon be seen during daytime during a full moon phase?

No.  The angle between the sun and the moon as viewed from the earth is 180 degrees for the full moon pahse.  This means that the full moon and the sun are always on opposite sides of the earth.\n\nSince the moon is not always "in plane" with the sun, and your horizon is not perfect, it may be possible on occasion, depending on the geography of the horizon, and one's latitute to see the full moon rising as the sun is setting, or to see the full moon setting as the sun is rising.

The reason you can see the moon in the sky during the day is because at that time the moon has rotated to where it is inbetween the earth and the sun.  So they are both visable at the same time.  It takes 28 for the moon to circle the earth, this is also the cause of moon phases, such as full moon/ new moon ect.

First, one can't see the entire Moon from Earth; only one side of the Moon faces the Earth directly, this is the near side of the Moon. The far side of the Moon (sometimes innacurately called the dark side of the Moon) always faces away. this behavior is due to tidal lock: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_lock .\nSecondly, one may not see the near side of the Moon due to atmospheric phenomena. This is trivial.\nThirdly, one may not see the entire near side of the Moon due to the orientation of the Sun with respect to the Moon. The Sun may be shining on some other side of the Moon with respect to our viewing angle on Earth and thus we only see a fraction of the near side lit up by sunlight. To see this graphically, look at the diagram of Moon phases on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phases_of_the_moon .\nFinally, one may not see the Moon due to a lunar or solar eclipse. This is caused by the Earth's shadow falling on the Moon in the first case and by the Moon blocking the sunlight from falling on the Earth in your region in the second case. These both occur when the Moon, Earth and Sun are approximately in a line. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipses for diagrams.\nAlso, the Moon may not be visible because it simply has not risen yet. ;)

The phase of the moon changes with your location. Here is a page to help you figure it out for where you live...\nhttp://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/RS_OneDay.html

I think it would because while the sun and the moon both shine, the moon is not boastful and sometimes hides away only showing it's light some of the time and, even then, only softly. Doesn't that seem beautiful to you?

The shape of the moon does not actually change, but it is the shadow of the earth that gives the illusion. The moon revolves around the earth due to which we have full moon, no moon and half moon periods as it travels betweeen the shadow of the earth. During the period from no moon to full moon, the earth is in between the moon and the sun due to which the earth's shadow falls directly on the moon and thus we cannot see the illuminated part of the moon.As the earth graduallly moves away from the position, we can see the illuminated part of the moon which appears in the shape of a crest.  Also due to the non existence of atmosphere on the moon, there is distinct difference in the illuminated and the dark part of the moon. During the period from full moon to no moon, it again moves from the shadow of the earth and thus at one point is completely overshadowed by the earth and doing the disappearing act.

refraction from the atmosphere magnifies.  When the moon, or sun, is low on the horizon, you're looking through more of the atmosphere to see it.

You only see one side of the moon from the Earth because the moon spins and rotates at just the right speeds.  As the moon revolves around the Earth it also spins around it's axis.  These two speeds happen to be just right so that the same side of the moon is always facing the Earth.  The phases of the moon are caused by the Earth casting a shadow on the moon, you can only see the part of the moon that's reflecting light from the Sun.

The moon is only visible because the Sun light reflects off of it. Even if the Sun is in the sky at the  same time, we will see it. The Moon circles the Earth every 28 days. While the Earth rotates once every 24 hours. The result is that the Moon seems to change position in the sky by 1/28 of a full rotation every day. During that cycle, the Sun and Moon will be in the daytime sky at least half the time. Sometimes we don't notice the Moon because it is only a small wedge or the clouds hide it. \nBy the way, Venus is also visible during daylight hours during some of it's rotation,  but it is a very tiny  pinpoint of light and is very hard to locate even if it is bright.

On new moon day, the moon and sun are in the same direction from earth.\n\nThe non illuminated portion of the moon is turned toward us. In the bright background of light we are not able to see the moon.\n\nSince the earth rotates about its axis, this new moon is for all in the world.  \nThe sun and moon rises in the east and sets in the west almost with no time difference.\nTherefore the moon is in the sky during day time, even though we are not able to see it.\n\nIn each day, the moon separates from the sun approximately by 12 degree.\n\nAfter one or two days latter, the moon is separated from the sun towards east. Therefore, we see the moon (crescent moon) after sun set for few hours in the west or in the   evening. All persons in the world will view the crescent moon when it is evening for them.\n\nApproximately after seven days, the moon separates from the sun through 90 degree. \n When the sun comes to the zenith, the moon rises in the east. The moon appears as a half moon in the east. For the viewers it is a day time. We see the half moon from the afternoon of this day till mid night in the sky. At mid night it sets in the West. \n When the sun sets in the west the moon is seen in the zenith. All people in the world will see the half moon from mid day to mid night.\n\n\nAfter approximately fifteen days, the moon is separated from the sun through 180 degree. When the sun sets in the west moon rises in the west. We call this as full moon. Through out the night the full moon will be visible and during day time it will not be visible. This is the same for all people in the world. \n\nOne can complete this cycle from Full moon to new moon (in another 15 days).

Depends on atmospheric conditions ,small water droplets form into ice crystals in the upper atmosphere. The moon reflects light into these droplets causing refraction of that light, givind a halo effect sometimes even a 'luna rainbow'

A full moon is the phase when the entire circular shape of the moon is visible.\n\nA new moon is the phase when no part of the moon is visible due to the position of the earth.  It happens to block the light from the sun so the moon is not able to be seen.\n\nsilly fact- the term "blue moon" like "once in a blue moon" refers to the unusual event of having two new moons in a calendar month.

Starting with the full moon - A day or two before the "full moon" you will see the moon rise just before sunset. At full moon it will rise as the sun sets, and of course after the sun sets as the time goes on. Each night after, notice how the light on the moon shrinks from full to last quarter and then to nothing (a 2 week time period).  Also during this time you will notice the moon "traveling" closer to the sun. Two weeks from full moon (day may vary) look for the sliver of the moon just before sunset.  As the moon moves into NEW moon and you cannot see at all, watch for it to become noticable as a sliver in the other direction asa the sun sets. Follow the light on the moon as it expands to first quarter and then to full. So you can actually see the moon and the sun at the same time virtually most of the month.

No.  The moon would alwayd be full if you were on the sun, because the sun's light illuminates the moon.  You would, howvere, be able to see the side of the moon that is never possible to see from the earth (which we incorrectly call "the dark side of the moon").

INTRESTING FACT IF YOU ARE AT LEVEL GROUND SUCH AS FLA,KEYS THE FULL MOON WILL ALWAYS RISE AT THE EXACT TIME THE SUN THE SUN IS SETTING. THE MOON WILL RISE PERCISLEY YOU CAN CHECK THE EXACT TIME LIKE AROUND 56 MIN LATTER EVERY NITE UNTILL THE CYCLE IS COMPLETE THEN ONCE AGAIN THE FULL MOON WILL RISE EXACTLY AT SUNSET FOR EVER AND EVER WATCH THE MOON RISE NIGHTLY AND IT WILL PROVE ME RIGHT. DONT KNOW IF THAT ANSWERED QUESTION BUT THATS HISTORY

When the light from the sun hits the moon, it is reflected to us which causes "Moonlight". This is the same light and source that allows us to see a bit of the shadows on the moon. \n\nThe suns and moons position in relation to one another is also what gives us the phases of the moon.  When the moon is directly opposite of the sun (with Earth not being directly in the line of sight) this gives us our full moon. \n\nIn short, there is only one type of light on the moon, the suns light hitting the moons surface.
