"Why can the moon be seen during the daytime? Explain your reasoning for your answer"

Downpour17:

I think its because the sun's light reflects off the moon in such in an intense way the moon is slightly distinct through the sunlight that we can see.

Downpour17:

Correct me if I'm wrong.

ninjabeeler1234:

Its kind of a reflection- The Moon can sometimes appear in the sky during the daytime because it is the closest object to Earth, and because its orbital cycle means that sometimes it is brighter in the day than at night.

Downpour17:

So my theory is kind of correct? the sun reflects light off the moon and because its closest to the earth at that time we can see it?
