The video explains that the moon is visible both day and night due to its brightness and proximity to Earth. It reflects sunlight, making it visible even during the day. The moon orbits Earth in about 30 days, showing different phases. During a full moon, the sun, Earth, and moon align, allowing simultaneous sunset and moonrise. The moon is visible for about 12 hours daily, sometimes overlapping with the sun's visibility. Visibility also depends on weather and horizon conditions.
