text: why can we still see the moon when the sun is up the same amount we see at night?   where did you go to school? everybody knows that the moon is the back side of the sun. when you see the moon during the day, you are actually seeing a double reflection of the back side of the sun (the moon) which is reflected off the interior surface of the "firmament" (where god keeps the water he used for noah's flood) it is then re-reflected to the opposite interior side of the firmament where it appears normal in the sky. i hope this explains it for you. if you have any further questions, visit http://www.landoverbaptist.org
