Why do the sun and the moon appear at the same time at noon?

This is a natural phenomenon, which is caused by the different rotation periods of the earth around the sun and the moon around the earth. Direct observation of the sun, moon and sky with naked eyes requires certain conditions. Generally, it can only be seen in broad daylight when the sky is clear and the visibility is good from February/Kloc-0 to March in the autumn lunar calendar.

As long as two conditions are met, you can see the landscape where the sun and the moon appear at the same time. The first is the angular distance between them. Angular distance refers to the angle and distance between the sun and the moon in the sky. When the angle between them is between 120 degrees and 170 degrees, the first condition is satisfied when the distance is appropriate.

Secondly, it's sunny. If you want to see the sun and the moon in the sky at the same time, it must be sunny that day. After the gale began last night, the smog in the sky has been blown away, revealing a rare sunny day in the sky.

Time of appearance

The phenomenon that the sun and the moon shine together requires the sun and the moon to be above the horizon at the same time. Theoretically, as long as the atmospheric conditions are good, this phenomenon may occur except the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar.

But there is a second condition, that is, the limit magnitude of the sky (the darkest celestial body that can be seen) cannot be too low, so generally speaking, when the sun rises or is about to set, the brightness of the sky can easily meet this condition (even in cities).

So in the first half of the lunar calendar (after the fourth day of the lunar calendar), you can see the moon phase when the sun goes down, from west to east in turn.

In the second half of the lunar calendar (before the 27th), you can also see the moon after the sun rises, from the western sky to the eastern sky.

The phenomenon of "the moon has come out before sunset" always occurs in the first half of the lunar calendar; The phenomenon of "the sun has risen, but the moon has not set" always appears in the second half of the lunar calendar.
