    If the moon is clearly visible in my daytime sky in the UK, does that mean the other side of the planet, which is in darkness, cannot see the moon?

    Question #13408. Asked by mupps. (Aug 15 01 9:58 AM)


    JReid

    		The moon rises and sets at a certain time daily for each place on the surface of the planet, depending on where it is in its journey around the earth. If the moon is high in your sky in the UK, then it has already set on the opposite side of the globe. So the answer to your question is yes.

    Does direct sunlight shine on the moon as it does on our tropics, or is the moon always in complete darkness as many photos would suggest?

    If the moon is visible due to the sun's reflection on it, why does the moon not look orange-yellow like the sun instead of a white or grey colour?

    As a follow up to the last question, why does the moon appear in the daytime sky on a rare occasion and not all the time?
