It comes only before, It comes only after, Rises only in darkness, But rises only in light. It is always the same, But is yet always different. What am I?
Common Wrong Answers
“Star”
While stars are visible in the night sky and can appear in various forms, they do not specifically rise only in darkness and are not always the same as the moon.
“Sun”
The sun rises in the morning and sets at night, which contradicts the riddle's clues about rising only in darkness and being the same yet different.
“Cloud”
Clouds can obscure the moon and the sun, but they do not have a consistent presence like the moon, nor do they have the specific qualities mentioned in the riddle.
