The new moon IS technically in the daytime sky.
* The new moon is invisible to the naked eye. This is because the sun and moon are aligned, with the moon positioned between the Earth and the sun. The illuminated side of the moon faces away from us, leaving the dark side facing Earth.
* During the day, the sun's light is overwhelming. Even though the new moon is there, we can't see it against the bright blue sky.
However, it's not *always* in the daytime sky.
* The moon's position changes throughout the month. As the moon orbits the Earth, it moves relative to the sun. This means there are times when the new moon is close to the horizon just before sunrise or after sunset, giving us a brief chance to catch a glimpse of it.
* Visibility depends on factors like weather and location. A clear sky and a low horizon are ideal for spotting the new moon at these times.
In summary:
The new moon is technically always in the daytime sky, but we can't see it due to the sun's brightness. We might see it briefly near sunrise or sunset under the right conditions, but it's usually hidden in the daytime sky.
