Yeah, that makes no sense. Of the moon is orbiting, it should not be visible to one side at least half the time, just like the sun. Yet from opposite sides of this thing we're on (Florida for example) and Australia, the moon is ALWAYS visible all day and all night.

What you said does not make sense or explain this phenomena away

The moon is only visible during the day for part of the month. The other times it's below the horizon. Although seeing the moon in day is frequent because the lunar cycle is one month instead of the solar cycle of one year.

Earth-Moon-Sun orbits 3d

However this is caused by the moon' orbit being tilted. You can see here that the moon passes both sides frequently, so as the earth spins while the moon is tracking over, you have 15 days of the moon in the sky for everyone, and 15 without.

Not so. Moon is visible to where I live 24/7/365. There's never a time we can't see it
