      Hi.. I’m not sure what you mean exactly? If you mean why can we see it during the day then there was a similar question earlier. But the moon does move around the sky a lot depending on earths rotation and its orbital path around us.

      Hi! Out of place like, it moves around in the sky? This is normal…sometimes it is really high in the sky, and other times it is really low. And other times, its in between! This is because of how its orbiting around us. Even thousands of years ago, civilisations realised this and set up stone formations to track this.
