The sky we see is in our atmosphere we can't see space from earth with all the stars we can see that because it's dark, sun is not shining on that bit of our planet. The blue sky and the cloud we see is in our atmosphere that stays close to the earth. When you go into space you breakthrough the atmosphere and out into space. The moon doesn't have an atmosphere so you can see straight into space.

Why is the sky black on the moon?

The sky appears black on the moon because the moon has no atmosphere to scatter sunlight like Earth. On Earth, the atmosphere scatters sunlight in all directions, creating the blue sky we see. But on the moon, without an atmosphere, there is no scattering of light, resulting in a black sky during the lunar day.

Why is the color of the sky black from the moon during the day?

The answer is that the Moon has no atmosphere. So, sunlight is not "scattered" as it is by the Earth's atmosphere. The Earth's atmosphere scatters blue light more than other colors causing our sky to be blue. So, the Moon has a black sky during its daytime and the Earth has a blue sky. You can see the black sky in photographs taken during the Apollo Moon landings. There's another answer below, but it's about the Earth's sky. When asked the color of the Earth's night sky, it is tempting to say, "black, of course"! However, that is not really correct. It looks black to us because there is not enough light to stimulate the color-sensitive cones in our eyes, even though there is light in the nighttime sky, and it has color. Away from city lights or other interfering light sources, the night sky, illuminated by moonlight is blue, similar to the sunlit daytime sky. At night we see through the atmosphere and out into space.
