Question
Have you ever seen the Moon during the day? Why do you think it is sometimes possible when the Sun is up? (Page 170)
Answer

Yes, the Moon can often be seen during the day, especially in its waxing and waning phases. This happens because the Moon reflects sunlight, and during certain phases, it is high enough in the sky while the Sun is also up, making it visible.
