Why sky color of the moon is black?

many people think that the sky is blue because of the reflection of the earth. that is wrong. the sky is blue because of the gases produced in the sky. my point is, the sun goes down at night, and without light there can be no color. the only color that can be produced without light is black. there you have it. :)


What planet has a black sky?

Mercury has a black sky despite being the closest planet to the Sun. This is because it has a very thin atmosphere that cannot scatter the sunlight, resulting in a black appearance.


What color is the lunar sky?

The lunar sky appears black, similar to the night sky on Earth, due to the lack of atmosphere on the moon. This means there is no scattering of sunlight to create the blue hue we see during the day on Earth.


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.
