Why is it sometimes you can see the moon in the day and sometimes you can't see it at night?

You can see the moon in the day if it's in a specific phase and position in relation to the sun. During a full moon, it's visible both day and night. When the moon is a crescent or in a different phase, it may not be visible at night due to its position relative to the Earth and the sun.
