If you want to BS about meanings and make up definitions then go right ahead, but it doesn't make you right. The basic astronomy is out there if you want to learn it.

Um, you do know that we can see the moon when it's daytime on earth? That is to say, daytime at the observer's location. You seem to say night/day on the earth or...
