Our atmosphere scatters the sunlight. Since there's no atmosphere in space light isn't defused. Think of a flashlight beam outside on clear dark night compared to the same beam seen through fog.

Why does the sky appear dark instead of blue to an astronaut?
Because the sky is blue to us by the light being scattered through nitrogen. In space there is no nitrogen for the light to scatter through, therefore the sky around them seems black. Although, when in space if you look at the earth, you can see the blue sky, as there is nitrogen there.
Why is the sky on moon appears to be black?
Well, if the question was supposed to be "If I am on the moon, why would the sky appear to be black?" then I would respond "because there is no atmosphere or water to refelct the blueness of the ocean." Besides, how do you know its black? Are you an astronaut? If you are then I feel you would not need to ask this question on answers.com. If you are not an astronaut, which is the most likely case, then I sugest you pursue becoming one since you seem interested in it so much. Best of luck to you becoming an astronaut with the US space program (also kown as NASA) losing funding. I hope this has been helpful and that you become the best astronaut the world has ever known.
