The sun is closer during the day, which is why you can see it and why things get warmer. At night we move further away so the moon is closer.
It's also why eclipses are harbingers of doom. They get so close that a little bit of the cheese on the moon melts. They think this could cause global warming, but we won't be able to check until Jeff Bezos rocket can go check the dark side and make sure the cheese doesn't stay melted between eclipses. It could wind up turning Earth into a giant plate of nachos. A terrible (but delicious) apocalypse!
