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 bright sunlight doesn't allow us to see the moon as well dur â¦ ing the day. We can see the moon better in the morning and evening when the intensity of sunlight is less but the moon is best seen at night.
