From the moon how the earth is visible in respect of colour?
When you look at the full moon, it is brilliantly white, but the Moon actually has an albedo of 0.04, which is about the same as a charcoal briquette. This means that the Moon reflects about 4% of the light that hits it. What that means is that if the Moon were much more reflective than it is, we wouldn't be able to look at it at all. The Earth has an albedo of about .3; it reflects 30% of the incoming light. From the Moon, the Earth's apparent size is about 4 times larger than the Moon as seen from the Earth. So from the Moon, the Earth will look about 25 times brighter than the Moon is! The color will be mostly blue or white, because the Earth is more water than land, and a lot of it is covered by clouds.
Is the sun illuminating the moon at all times?
Yes if the sun wasn't illuminating the moon it wouldn't make a light at all
