Best Answer

When the sun gives off light, the light is reflected off the surface of the planets and the moon, the color of the planet depends on which colors it absorbs and gives off, like the moon absorbs all colors except that greyish color, the grayish color is reflected back into space and when the light gets to earth, we see the color, and see the moon. This is the same for all planets and such. We can see planets during the day, they don't just disapear, but they are faint against the luminosity of the sun

Clouds can be seen day and night. During the night, the cloud reflect the light from the moon which allows it to be seen.

The Milky Way is always there, day or night.
