You do not see the moon because it is in New Moon phase. The sun is behind it. When you see the moon, either during the day or night, it is because it is reflecting light from the sun, at different angles, which gives us the phases of the moon.
Yes, but once the moon gets further away from the sun in the sky, at least part of it should be illuminated and visible!
The amount of illumination will be too low tomovercome the high contrast of a blue sky.
I mean, some of the stars are pretty bright and you can't see them during the day.
