Assuming its midday, and the moon is on or near the horizon, it would actually still be seen for an additional 1.3 seconds after we see the sun disappear. If its high in the sky however, it would disappear only a few ms after the sun, unless it was in a full or partial eclipse, where it would disappear at the same time to our eyes.
