Some days we can see the moon during the day, and other days we can’t.
It looks tiny next to the water tower in this image. But, second to the sun, Earth’s moon is by far the brightest celestial object we can see. But the moon isn’t always visible during the day. This is due to the Earth’s atmosphere and the orbital cycle of our natural satellite. If our planet didn’t have an atmosphere, the moon would be visible from Earth all the time.
