What Makes the Moon Glow in Daylight

Описание: Why We Can See the Moon During the Day 🌙
The Moon’s surface is covered in fine, glassy dust called regolith. It reflects sunlight unevenly—bright across the highlands and darker over ancient lava plains called maria. Altogether, the Moon reflects about 12% of the sunlight that hits it—roughly as bright as worn asphalt at noon on a sunny day. That reflected light is what makes the Moon visible even during daylight hours, when its gray surface just barely contrasts against our blue sky.
