Wheatley, have you ever gone out way soon in the morning enough to see the sun rise while the moon is still in the sky? Granted, the ground wouldn't be black-dark and the characters would look darker, but still.

The other explanation of course, is what Chishio said: This takes place in another universe, which won't necesarily follow each and every rule our universe follows. So even if in our universe if X happens Y happens, in the RWBY universe if X happens Y doesn't happen.
