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.


The position of the new moon is always located in the daytime sky?

False the new moon cant be seen from earth at all.


What color is the sky originaly?

The original color of the sky is blue during the daytime due to Rayleigh scattering, which causes shorter-wavelength light (blue and violet) to scatter more than longer-wavelength light (red and orange) in Earth's atmosphere. At sunset or sunrise, the sky can appear orange, red, or pink due to the scattering of shorter wavelengths by particles and gases in the atmosphere.


Can you see a full moon in the daytime?

Out of every 24 hours, the moon is up in the sky for about 12hours 49minutes. In the course of a month, it spends the same number of hours in the daytime sky as it does in the night-time sky. The way it works out, though, the moon's phase ... the amount that's illuminated ... is smaller in the day and larger at night, on the long-term average. Technically, the Full Moon rises at sunset, so it's the only phase that's not visible in the daytime.

What accounts for the brightness and the blue color of the daytime sky?

The brightness of the daytime sky is due to sunlight scattering off air molecules and particles in the atmosphere, illuminating the entire sky. The blue color of the sky is a result of shorter-wavelength blue light being scattered more than other colors by the gases and particles in the atmosphere, making the sky appear predominantly blue to our eyes.


Is the daytime sky blue because of the greenhouse effect?

i don't think so, the blue color of the sky is because of the dispersion of light, as when the light reaches the sky it has minimum wavelength when reflected so it appears blue, as the blue color has minimum wavelength
