The Moon is just as likely to be in the sky during the day as during the night. That means that at any given time of day, the Moon has a 50% chance of being above the horizon. That applies to everywhere in the world, including Kenya.

Look at the link below and compare the rising and setting times of the Sun and Moon.

why was the moon out all day?

Actually, you couldn't see the moon all day, today, because it didn't rise until mid afternoon. This thursday, the moon will rise about the same time the sun sets, so it will be visible all night and not at all during the day. That's because it will be on the side of Earth away from the sun.

When three is a new moon, it is on the side of Earth toward the sun. Then, it rises soon after sunrise, so it's in the sky all day; but you can't see it until just after sunset because the sky near the sun is so bright. Each day after the new moon, the moon rises about 50 minutes later. After a few days, it is far enough from the bright part of the sky so that you can see it most of the day.

what is the reason for full moon day?

Full moon is a lunar phase that occurs when the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. More precisely, a full moon occurs when the geocentric apparent (ecliptic) longitudes of the Sun and Moon differ by 180 degrees; the Moon is then in opposition with the Sun.[1] As seen from Earth, the hemisphere of the Moon that is facing the earth (the near side) is almost fully illuminated by the Sun and appears round. Only during a full moon is the opposite hemisphere of the Moon, which is not visible from Earth (the far side), completely unilluminated.

The time interval between similar lunar phases—the synodic month—is on average about 29.53 days. Therefore, in those lunar calendars in which each month begins on the new moon, the full moon falls on either the 14th or 15th of the lunar month. Because lunar months have a whole number of days, lunar months may be either 29 or 30 days long.
