We cannot see the stars and planets during the day because the Earth's atmosphere causes the light from the sun to scatter, thus drowning out the relatively feeble starlight. The moon however is only ten Earth diameters away from us and presents a sufficiently large field of view to remain visible.

Hello buddy,
Nice curiosity.
The moon does not produce its own light, we see it when light coming from sun is reflected off of the surface of the moon. Whenever the Moon reflects the Sun's rays we can see it--even in the day time,. Just like in pool, it all depends on the angle! When the moon and sun are on the same side of Earth, the moon is 'out' in the day, when the moon and sun are on opposite sides of Earth, the moon is 'out' at night.
