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.
This is what causes day and night - one side of the Earth is facing the sun - so it's light, and the other doesn't - so it's dark. The sun lights the moon and that is why at night we see the moon. The sun radiates energy and warms up the Earth. Without that energy the life on our planet will not be possible. The Moon is Earth's natural satellite and it revolves around the Earth, like the Sun revolves around the Sun. The Moon has a gravitational pull that causes a rise and fall of ocean tides.
