We cannot see stars during the day because the bright light of the Sun hides them from our sight.

The Moon does not actually change its shape. We see different shapes because only the part of the Moon lit by the Sun faces the Earth at different times.
Is the Sun a star?
Yes, the Sun is a star, but it looks much bigger and brighter than other stars because it is the closest star to the Earth.
