Best Answer

The moon appears high in the sky because the moon is in space. We are on earth.

We are on the ground and the moon is in the sky. The moon appears to be highest in the sky in the tropical regions of the world, just like the sun - since the moon's orbit is almost perpendicular to the tropics.
At higher latitudes, the moon will appear lower in the sky for the same reason as the sun is.

When the moon comes out does the sky turn apsulootly dark?

No, the moon comes out at a much earlier time then when the sky turns dark. This is due to the orbit of the moon. The moon is visible in the sky during the day. So, no the sky does not turn absolutely dark when the moon comes out. If it did, then we would have extremely long nights.
