Detailed explanation-1: -"When we see the moon during the day it’s because the moon is in the right spot in the sky and it’s reflecting enough light to be as bright, or brighter, than the sky."
Detailed explanation-2: -According to Guinan, the best time to see the moon in daylight is during the first quarter (one week after the new moon) and third quarter (one week after the full moon). In the first quarter, during the afternoon, our natural satellite can be seen rising in the eastern sky.
Detailed explanation-3: -A solar eclipse occurs when the new moon passes directly between the Earth and the Sun (Figure 24.23). This casts a shadow on the Earth and blocks our view of the Sun. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon’s shadow completely blocks the Sun (Figure 24.24).
