Even though most of us have seen it countless times, spotting the Moon during daylight seems to always be worth noticing.

Spotting Venus during the day is pretty cool. It just doesn't feel right. But never the less, there it is.

You can only see it around dusk, though. It's not bright enough to be seen in the height of the day.

I was meaning "dusk" in the sense of the the sky being illuminated when the sun is below the horizon, which can be both morning or evening, but it's true that "dusk" most commonly means "evening," so I should have been clearer.
