Here's why:
* The moon's phases: The moon goes through different phases, from a new moon (invisible) to a full moon (brightly lit). These phases are determined by the relative positions of the sun, Earth, and moon.
* Visibility: During the day, the sun's brightness makes it difficult to see the moon, especially when it's in a thin crescent phase. However, if the moon is full or close to it, you might be able to see it during the day.
* Morning and evening: The moon can be visible in the morning before sunrise or in the evening after sunset depending on its phase.
So, why might someone think they can only see the moon in the morning?
* Observation bias: They might be more likely to notice the moon when it's higher in the sky, which is more common in the morning before the sun rises.
* Lunar phases: They might be associating the moon's visibility with a specific phase, like the waxing crescent, which is often visible in the early morning sky.
Remember, the moon is always there, even if you can't see it! Its visibility depends on its phase and the time of day.
