An informal expression that is more often used in casual conversation than in formal speech or writing. Colloquialisms are not substandard or illiterate speech, says Maity Schrecengost. Rather, they are idioms, conversational phrases, and informal speech patterns often common to a particular region or nationality. Not found everywhere, colloquialisms are words and phrases that we learn at home rather than at school (Writing Whizardry, 2010). See Examples and Observations below.
So what causes us to be able to see the moon during the day? The moon has an orbit around the earth and we can see it at night because of the reflection of the sunâs rays and energy that bounce back to the earth. This is what gives the moon the brilliant white glow. Itâs important to also remember that the earth has a rotation and an orbit around the sun.
The Moon that we sometimes see during the day is the very same Moon that we sometimes see at night. We can only ever see the same side of the Moon, whether we see the Moon during the day or during the night. The dark regions that one can see on the Moon at night can also be seen during the day.
